Car bogs down like its out of gas

Could your fuel pump be going in and out intermittantly? sometimes electronic fuel pumps can be funny....


Is it possible to check the pressure just after it stalls out on you?

I have an extra fuel pressure gauge. I just need to figure out how to install it to where i can see the pressure while driving. I think that would help a lot. I've heard these Mr. Gasket electronic fuel pumps can be iffy.... But i dont want to rule that out just yet.

First,, inspect all the hoses front to back for cracks that may suck air, or loose connections, that also suck air..


Second, change the fuel filter for a new one,, you can put that other filter back on if you must.

Third, did you set the floats on the carb and adjust it since install..

Whats your timing at ?

hope it helps

Are we talking about vacuum hoses or fuel lines? It has one fuel line straight from the tank to the carburetor with a filter and fuel pump in line. I did not mess with the floats in the holley. I checked the little window they give you on the bowls and the fuel was right about center of the window while idling. And my timing is at about 8 degrees before TDC.
