It's just that, hard starting. The fuel pump is good but after setting overnight it acts like it doesn't get fuel. I crank it over about 10 different times, turning the key off inbetween, and hear it pressure up everytime. It gradually starts to hit until it does a rough idle. The rest of...
My 66 dart gt has a stock 273 in it and I'm planning on dual exhausts this spring, along with electronic ignition. Would I gain much by also installing a 4bbl carb or is it a waste of time and money? I don't want to stray too far from stock.
Also, what is the relationship between horsepower...
I have my 273 running. In the process of getting it ready I put on a reman. stock 2bbl carb. and reman. single point dist. She now starts and runs fine down the road. The problem I'm having is it stalls/dies when I mash the gas pedal. Where should I look? Thanks.
OK, I had the motor starting and running several times. I adjusted the lifters to lessen the noise, it helped and I turned off the engine. 10 min. later I went to start it and did nothing but crank. I pulled a plug and it has spark. It is getting fuel, maybe too much, the carb. needs a kit...
It had been setting for 15 yrs. but got her running last night. The valve train chatters. Should I be patient, run it and see if it corrects itself or look into the problem. What should I be looking for if I pull the valve covers? It has mech. lifters. Thanks in advance.
My 273 fired up!! After prepping the cylinders, freeing the stuck valves, changing the dist. cap, rotor, points and wires, it fired up when primed. :toothy7:
Now to kit the carb. and fix a plugged fuel line.
