I had a spare Carter carb that I switched out the Holley with and the problem followed. So i knew it wasn't the carb. So, a friend of mine who is a mechanic said he had actually had situations where somehow there was a blockage in the fuel return off of the pump that caused the fuel to back up...

Yes. Put it all back and same thing. Frustrating to say the least.

The float seems fine. I even took it out and submerged in water to see if it would Show any leaks. Question: Is it possible for the fuel pump to be the culprit? I mean it’s worked fine for the last three years since I’ve installed it but is this something someone’s encountered before? Could the...

Well, I took the needle valve out cleaned it really good and put it back. Same problem. I took it out again and this time I remembered that I had an extra one from another 1945. Tried that and the same problem. And just to be clear this thing is definitely leaking out the bottom. I guess my...

Well, my situation changed for the better when i pulled out the old Champion spark plugs and put in fresh NGK plugs. They were do for a change but I did not expect my problems to go away instantly. I was sure that it was a carb/vacuum problem. My Swinger no longer hesitates, stumbles or stalls.

I recently put in a 1945 (NOS ) into my 75 Swinger (I also removed the 1920). I am currently having the exact same problem you are: bogs down when you give it a healthy push of gas after stopping-having to tender foot it after a sharp turn.otherwise the car drives and idles great. Because my...
