I got the tank all nice and clean and coated (lots of crap in there!) blew out the fuel lines and installed a new fuel filter. But I'm still having a problem. I'm still not getting any fuel to the carb, and my fuel pressure gauge isn't showing any pressure, so I'm starting to think it's...

I took the fuel filter apart, and it had crap in it, then I took a look in the fuel tank, and ended up taking it out completely. It's the original tank and it's really dirty inside! Full of rust, so I'm sure that's what my issue is. Now what is the best route to take now? Get a new tank, or...

I'll take a look at it tomorrow, could the pickup in the fuel tank gotten clogged up?

I was driving my dart around today, this morning it was nice and sunny, the car ran perfectly, air fuel ratio on the gauge was where it always is. Then I got caught in some rain and it got pretty cold, was running good for a bit but then the air fuel started jumping around and leaning out, then...

I have 2.76 gears currently (changing to 3.91s soon) so just driving around town easy It usually never gets past 2k rpm, so it is probably still in the idle circuit. So adjust the idle mixture and jet the carb down to get it close to 14.2 should make it run alot better? But it seems like my...

Okay so to update on everything, the car runs just like it always has now. But I am starting to think that I just have a rich issue still. I am thinking that I need to jet and tune the carb as I am probably leaving some power on the table. Once warmed up the car runs really good, warmed up...

The gas looked very yellow, as dark as apple juice but more yellow. And I cleaned my air cleaner (It was quite dirty actually, was probably restricting some air and not helping the rich condition). I took a plug out again to see what they looked like after driving around for a bit with the new...

Ill give the plugs a clean, and I am sure I did have some smoke coming out, it was running like crap! The choke was good and the carb looked nice and clean inside. And I have an aftermarket air cleaner so its just the filter element sitting on top. The fuel was the culprit though!

It really is, I am glad I installed it. And they are NGK with a 7 heat rating, I have been playing around with the plug heat rating and the 7s seem to be pretty good. And the problem was the fuel! I siphoned a bit out of the tank and it looked and smelled odd, really dark in colour, had gas...

Took a few plugs out and they all look like this one, they are all dry, so not oily, but there were all full of carbon/soot, checked the plugs not long ago and they looked the correct tan colour. Seems like they were fouling and thats what is what mostly likely caused the slight misfire. I know...

To update on the popping I checked the rocker arms and nothing is loose, pushrods are spinning away (don't know why but I'm always worried about the flat tappet cam! LOL) What would cause an intermittent popping in the exhaust? Nothing through the carb. Its only on one side of the exhaust (true...

I will try doing that tomorrow. But I had some gas line antifreeze handy so I put some of that in the tank, and took it down the road, It seemed like it was alot happier, at idle it seemed like it had a random popping out of the exhaust, not loud or anything, and It didn't do that when It was...

Just an update on the situation up until now. I just started it up to take it for a spin, it started up fine, I was just letting it warm up a tad because its pretty cold out, no backfiring or running rougher than usual. As I started driving I noticed it backfired once when I hit the gas, so I...

Seems like I am rich then. And yes that is correct, when I started it initially when I finished school it was around 10-11:1 but even after it warmed up It didn't really lean out too much, probably mid 11 after driving it for a while. It actually just rained a bit and was super windy, the...

Could be, I just started going to a new gas station, and as I noticed it doing this I got gas on the way home. What exactly is winter gas?

I will check that, because its always been kinda finicky, the carb is brand new too. What should the A/F ratio be?

Electric choke yes, could it be stuck on?

My 360 has always seemed to run really good, good power and everything. For the heck of it I installed a wide-band in it, I think it is running a bit rich. It seems like when it warms up at idle it runs at around 12.7-13.3, and leans out a little bit as you get on the gas, I haven't really...

There is a shell station very close to me, so I will give that fuel a try. So what exactly is so bad about alcohol in the fuel now adays?

I've been thinking about this recently. My motor is a 360, and it has about 10.6:1 compression ratio with eddy closed chamber heads, and a mild comp XE268 cam in it. I have been running 94 octane fuel in it and I haven't experienced any detonation issues with it. The timing is set at about 16-17...

So could I have ruined the new gauge already? or is it just not reading accurately because of its location? Never realized they were such precision gauges, pretty neat. So what could be the cause of this low pressure reading?

Its liquid filled, and in a little hole before the dual carb feed line, so right above the intake manifold, and yea it kinda moves around, its never been steady. So liquid filled ones are no good?

Ever since I've broken in the cam on my new motor the fuel pressure has always read about 1-3 PSI cold or hot, and sometimes it doesn't even read at all. But it occasionally reads about 8. This is an edlelbrock mechanical fuel pump on my 360 btw. At first I figured the gauge was the problem...

I have the same issue with mine. I have a mechanical fuel pump and a liquid filled gauge and when I broke the motor in I was getting good pressure, and at about the half way mark it was reading 0, well I figured it was the gauge because the motor continued to run like a champ during the rest of...

If I remember correctly a cummins turbo is too small because gas engines revs so much higher than diesels, twins would be ok I would think though.

I have a k and n filter as well, like I so far.

Thanks for the links to the manuals! Great info! But I'm putting in a 360 with a 4 barrel in the place of the 2 barrel 318. Does the carb even have provisions to run the charcoal canister? The carb is a Holley 650 vacuum secondary, has one vacuum line and a PVC.

So a while ago I asked about how to completely remove the charcoal canister on my 73 dart, but after hearing responses I learn't that its a good idea to keep it. But there are three lines that are hooked up to it, one from the fuel tank, one that goes to the carb as a vacuum line. But the third...

Cool, thanks, so I may as well leave it installed and hook it up with the new engine. But like I said the nipple that goes to the fuel line cracked but didn't fall off, the canister is fine though. Can I just glue it as suggested? No pieces fell off. And I've read that it's good to use a fuel...

So I was taking off all lines that go to my 318 in preparation to take it out in favour of a 4 barrel 360, and as I was removing the vacuum line that goes from the carb to the little charcoal canister with the three nipples on the passenger side and the nipple cracked! Just age I guess, but is...
