Fuel Delivery Problems
-I posted this on the fourm for 1967-72 F100, I just found this one and figured I should put it here too.
Hey guys, I have a 1969 F100 that I have had since my freshmen year of high school. I have done lots of work and improvements in the past 4 years, including switching from the original 3-on-the-tree transmission to a 4 speed t-18, and rebuilding a junk yard 300ci I-6 and swapping it with the original 360ci V-8.(I am rebuilding the 360 which had just over 100,000mi on it and I plan to swap it back) Anyway, I dropped the new engine in last June and it has been a dream ever since, until about a month ago when it started flooding like crazy. Fuel runs all down the carburetor and down intake manifold. When I remove the carb, there is fuel pooling inside the manifold. I first checked the needle valve on the carb because I figured it had failed, I went a head and rebuilt the carb. The problem was back within 15 miles. Next I checked the pressure that the fuel pump was delivering and found it to be correct. I put a second carb that I had on to see if it would make any difference, and it got me from Denver to Fort Collins (60 mies), but I was began getting trouble again inside the city, and now I’m back to where I started. Any ideas, I’m stumped.
