1964 Valiant "Get Runnin & Drivin"

I went the big block fuel pump route. I used a replacement hemi one. 33gph at 7psi. Good for 400hp. It introduced other problems. Primarily bending the tabs on the floats for a edelbrock 500 avs. My symptoms was the engine ran fine with the stock pump. When I was at the track, it would start to stumble at the top of second gear and never recover. So I kept jetting up until I couldn't go any further. The plugs always looked fine. Then I did the research to figure out why.

If you think your relatively middle engine needs to be jetted 6 jet sizes larger then what came with the carb. More power to you.

Where'd you see 6 sizes? I went 4. On the primaries, it had what I call a "lean buck" with your big toe on the gas barely keeping it at cruise speed. If the stock pump caint keep up with that, there's something wrong with it. I know it's not the pump, because the jet change cleared it up.
