    How do I test mechanical fuel pump

    I’m in a situation where I took off my quadrajet, without checking my fuel pump. Can I just crank it over a couple times without a carb on it ? Now I’m looking at carbs and the Edelbrock setup calls for a fuel pump change to regulate the pressure and if mine is toast then I might as well go...

    Gas out of top of Rochester Carb

    I’ve about had it with this Rochester Quadrajet. Recently just had fuel starvation to the thing, the check valve in the fuel filter wasn’t operating. Changed that. Before that problem the truck ran good. Now after start up, it runs good for 20 seconds and then fuel comes out the top from two...

    No fuel in carb at start up

    Hey everyone, I have a small issue. Recently I’ve been having to pour gas into the carb bowl for my 1985 to start. Even after a day or two of getting it going. Is this an oil pressure sending unit problem ? Any suggestions for what I should do first ? Thanks in advance

    Horn has no power

    Mission success. It was the ground wire from the spring contact. Right where I should have started so I hope this thread helps someone else down the line and I thank everyone for the help. The horns needed rebuild anyways. And I now know exactly how the horn circuit works
