- Not 3 days after I get my '54 Chevy "Peanut" back on the road, she decides to stall out in traffic. This is a sporadic problem, and has only occurred on 2 out of the past 10-12 drives in the past wee

- I had a problem similar to this and since it runs for a short time then dies, it must be fuel related..the length of run time depending on how much fuel was in the carb bowl. Sudden acceleration of c

- I agree with Wayne. Sounds like there may be a problem with rust and debris in the gas tank. My '50 3600 did the same thing. I got a fresh can of gas, ran a hose from it to the fuel pump, and never

- I bet it would run again for a while if you replaced the fuel filter again. Sounds like crud in the gas tank to me. Not 3 days after I get my '54 Chevy "Peanut" back on the road, she decides to stall

- For the past 30 years or so, the manufacturers have been using a sealed fuel tank cap with a separate vent through a charcoal canister to catch the fumes. These old trucks need a vented fuel cap, ava

- Suggest you check the following: Fuel filter (either in-line between the fuel pump and carb, or also check to make sure the carb doesn't have a filter on the inlet fuel line from the fule pump) Buy

- If been setting awhile, may be gunk/rust in tank. I put two filters on my 54 for awhile. One on main line from tank before the pump, bowl is on pump, and one just before the carb. I still had another

- Interestingly enough, I have had a nice shiny new fuel cap from Chevy Duty or some such place for about 2 years now (since I left the original one at the gas station), without this happening. Of cour

- I had a very similer experience when I first started driving my 1951 GMC. It would stall out seemingly at random and then most of the time it would start up and carry on about 10 minutes later. I che
