Re: Hard Starting

This is just my opinion but I would throw the eddy carb in the trash and buy a holley or TQ. Holleys get great mileage if you work with them. My 72 truck gets 22 with a 600 and no overdrive. Torker is not good for a heavy car no bottom end. You sound like a electric carter pump should fix it. Is your accelerator pump shot shooting? I doubt if both cars have an electrical component getting hot but try a different box or dist when hot and not starting. I feel vapor lock is the problem. Just look how the factory ran the stock fuel line by all the hot engine parts. Also try pouring some gas down carb when this happens. Im not there but try no gas or one shot you may be flooding the plugs. Is the starter good Starters that pull a lot of amps do to old age and wear there is no amps left to properly fire plugs. Hope this helps.

Subject: Hard Starting

Well spring is coming and I was thinking about an annoying little I'm having with my Polara. Actually my buddy is having the same problem too. We both have recently rebuilt 440's in our cars. His a 71 300, mine 65 Polara. His block is like a 75 mine is a 70. After driving our cars around for a bit, we still have to pump the ever living shit outta them to get them started again. I got a 750 Eddy on the stock intake which I'm gonna put my Eddy Torker 2 intake on it this spring. Why do I have to pump it so much even when it's warmed up?

The reason I mentioned my buddy's car is that he also has a 70 Satellite with the exact same engine, minus the rebuild. He said he swapped the carbs between the 300 and the Satellite and it didn't make any difference. The Satellite started like it was fuel injected and his 300 you pump the hell out of it. So its not a carb problem, as we're both running all fairly new Eddy 750's on our cars.

Could it be the ignition system, distributor, bad coil, what? In my car, being low mileage rebuild with a mild cam (a couple steps above the stock cam), it's not a compression issue. I know it's still about two months away until the beast is on the road again, but anybody got any ideas for the very near future. Thanks in advance.

PS If anybody's gonna say I should go with a Holley carb, save your breath. If I'm going to change the induction system, I'm going to put an EFI throttle body kit on it when I have saved enough. Until then I'll stick with my Edelbrock, thank you.
