You know where danbury schools is.I live right down the road. Right outside the gates of lakeside.Maybe we could get together on the weekend sometime.Would just like to make sure of a few things on my new engine.I have a 1979 F250 trailer special I am restoring.Just put a new crate engine in it from jasper this last summer.(400) Don't want anything bad to happen to it.

Got stock intake and stock 2 barrel.Sometimes this engine just dumps the gas.Not to often but alot when it does.
This engine will be 1 year old in july.
I don't have any vacumn hooked up just what I need.
This is a crate engine from Jaspers.
Runs pretty good just think I need to get all the bugs
Myself I'm not much of a mechanic.
Would like any help I could get.
Thanks for getting back with me.

What do you mean by dumps the gas, do you mean using gas or actual spillage. You can get rebuild kits for those carbs for pretty cheap but swapping in a dual plane manifold and a aftermarket carb really makes them come alive. I run a edelbrock 600 cfm 4bbl w/elec. choke and edelbrock performer manifold on my 400 and also have no smog stuff hooked up it has all been eliminated. I get about 9-10 mpg with 4.10 gears and 36" tires. But am thinking about swapping to a howell efi kit. Maybe think about rebuilding your carb and make sure you dont have any vacuum leaks cause those can give you trouble too.
