Hello everyone,
FINALLY - after 7 long months, I got my car started. ( yee, haw ) I was so
excited I drove several laps around my block, open headers & all. Several
minutes later the police showed up. Apparently one of my neighbors wasn't
enjoying the sound of the motor as much as me!
The cool thing was the cops were more interested in checking out the car
rather than hassling me. LOL...
Anyway - On the way home from the exhaust shop today the motor started
making little popping sounds - more like little back-fires through the carb.
There was some stuttering too when applying more throttle. I also noticed a
significant loss of power. ( when revving the engine it almost felt like a
4cyl ? ) The temp was in the low 80's.
Does this sound like it could be vapor-lock?
My fuel line is rubber hose & currently routed up along the bell-housing,
behind the passenger side head, & into the carb. I also have a Holley red
elec fuel pump rated at 7psi if that make any difference...
Thanks in advance,
Rob Smith
