dashpot and fuel line question

Guys i got two questions.
I have 1 86 351w automatic. all of a sudden there is no vacuum to my dashpot, when there was just a couple days ago, all the vacuum lines seam to still be plugged in. ???

also, i put a rubber fuel line in from the manual fuel pump to the carb (holley 4180) with a clear in-line fuel filter. now everytime i shut the truck off the fuel line and fuel filter drains, which makes the engine turn over a whole lot to start the engine.

If anyone could help me it would be greatly apreciated

That fuel line should be steel all the way to the carb.

Get rid of the rubber line.


No dashpots.

They are called: Decel controllers.

Check your vacuum lines closely.

i removed the steal line so i could put a in-line fuel filter in, because the brass fuel filter in the carb are prone to clogging.
