It’s running great!
You’re absolutely right about the new pump, good eye! I replaced it along with the fuel tank and sender. I became picky about my fuel pumps too a...
I got the small hole patched up and it cured my issue. I was able to set the float height to spec and the car will not stumble at all when...
There’s no way it’s supposed to be there, in my research. According to the schematics, it should be causing poor fuel metering due to a vacuum...

After days of running well with the modified float level, I decided to put a new set of gaskets in it after being disassembled so many times....

I spent most of the day with the car, and have verified all the details mentioned earlier. It’s definitely related to fuel slosh, specifically...
Yes I have, they’ve put together a complete manual for these that’s amazing! There may be an internal fuel leak to vacuum that I can’t see. Im...

All the gaskets seem to be sealing pretty good. I’ve tested with light without a gasket (typical method on these) and I have good imprinting on...

I’m working on an original ‘51 Chevy 216 with the stock Rochester B that I’ve rebuilt. The engine starts, idles and revs great, and the car...
Thank you to everyone that called, I really appreciate the help!
Prybar on the flywheel teeth, or a flywheel turning tool if there's room.
Some of you know about my '55's history. My grandfather bought it new in my hometown. I have the original title and bill of sale. It's all...
Ha!

Motorcycle jack. It's perfect.
Yeah goddammit!!!! Haha!!!! Sorry, that was funny.
Thanks!
I had fun! It was cool having you guys in my hometown. Don't make fun of my '55, I know it sounded like shit! I'm still waiting for my headers...
I'm doing my best to get my car running by the weekend. I plan on making the round trip to Manor and back if it all works out
