Re: Help Wanted - Drag Racing Ignition/Fuel (?) Problems

[MO <micher@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

 Dennis said exactly what my first tjhought was.  If it is a Holley
and there is fuel overfilling the float bowl, it will puke out the
vent tube..  Also dumping to much fuel into the intake- running way to
rich , and causeing your other problems.  My guess- fuel regulator not
holding down the pressure or needle and seat not shutting down the
fuel in the bowl........................MO

Please address private email -- email of interest to only one person -- directly to that person. That is, email your parts/car transactions and negotiations, as well as other personal messages, only to the intended recipient. Do not just press "reply" and send your email to everyone using the general '62-'65 Clubhouse public email address. This practice will protect your privacy, reduce the total volume of mail and fine-tune the content signal to Mopar topic. Thanks!
