This morning my carb flooded and started overflowing with gas. This afternoon I did some research and tried the tap method as well as the plug and release before I took the air horn off. I gave it a good cleaning, and adjusted the idle screw. So far the problem seems to be fixed. Also, the RPMs...

From bikersmurf (back when I had the same question as you): 168 tooth flywheel, 11" low cone diaphragm type clutch from early 70s Chev (LUK in my case), 2F throw out being and fork, and AA or Stock Chev type mounts. I have a chevy flywheel and LUK clutch. Toyota throw out bearing and fork. Hope...

Oh and I swapped the positions of the fuel filters, and that added about 1 psi to the mix.

New update (even if I'm just talking to myself somebody might run into the same problem as me one day): figured out that I wasn't getting fuel pressure, because the 3/8 in fuel line I had going to the return line was too big (figured it out when I squeezed the line and the fuel pressure shot...

Update: From the tank I have a Mr Gasket fuel filter (PN 9748), a Holley black electric fuel pump (PN 12-815-1), up to a T that splits to my return line and another fuel filter before my Holley fuel pressure regulator (PN 12-803) with gauge (PN 26-500), which then goes to my Edelbrock Performer...

I took off the gas cap with the same result as before. Not too long ago I "fixed" the problem with pressure buildup in my tank by venting it. It is doing way better as far as not spewing air at me when I take the gas cap off. I'll get a new pump with a larger flow rate as suggested as well as...

Any suggestions on a good fuel pump? I'm sure the lines to the tank have something to do with it since the PO removed all the emissions stuff and didn't properly connect anything. I'm still working out where everything goes since the charcoal canister was removed.

Background: 79' FJ40, sbc350, Edelbrock Performer 600cfm carb, Mr Gasket 4-7 psi electric fuel pump, Holley 4-9 psi adjustable fuel pressure regulator, Holley mechanical fuel pressure gauge. Problem: At start up my fuel filter bulb is full and I'm getting 5 psi no matter how I adjust the fuel...

Pictures of the canister.

I haven't had my charcoal canister on since my 40 was "stock" before the 350 conversion. As of right now I have a vent where the canister used to be, but there is a prominent smell of gas and I don't like the idea of gas fumes in my engine bay. I am running a Edelbrock 1406 (until I can get a...

Thanks so much for all the help

It's worked nicely for about a year now. I went and got a new fuse holder and a box of 20A fuses, because I read in the fan's instruction manual that a medium profile fan should pull about 20A (30A max). However, when I cranked it and let it warm up, the fan again never kicked on and the fuse...

I have a 79' fj40 with an advance adapters 16 inch SPAL electric puller fan. It's done good to cool the 350 off for the most part, but today I noticed the fan didn't kick on and it got hot quick. I pulled over to find the 40A fuse and holder that came with the kit had melted pretty bad. It's...
