Fuel Drain Back
Another quick question for the community. I installed a universal fuel filter right before the edelbrock carb on my 85 f250. However, I notice after awhile the fuel drains back into the tank because there is an air void in the fuel filter. After cranking it over for a little the void fills and she starts up. Is it necessary for the fuel to drain back into the tank or could I put a one way valve before filter so it stays full? Any help is appreciated

If you think it's the choke, give it a couple of pumps before you start cranking and see what happens. You should pump it at least once during a morning cold start.
If a couple of pumps helps it, you might need a little more choke. If the little bit of extra gas doesn't help it, you might need to check the sparkplugs for wear.
