Re: IML: Fuel Delivery Problem/ WOT

[dardal@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx]

Yes, I have considered it, but I do not like the cost.  Also, I am sure there is
no inherent design problem with the engine of fuel system.  The problem is with
the rochester carb, it was never intended to be part of a Chrysler 440, and it
apparently requires more pressure than the stock Chrysler pump can deliver.  I
will toss that carb at some point, so I have decided to live with the problem
for now, instead of rigging up an electric pump.  I am looking for a larger AVS
for my other 68.  When I find it, the AVS from my green sedan will probably end
up in my LeBaron, replacing the Rochester.  But I will need an intake, as my
current intake is from a 78 440 so that the Rochester would fit (monkey
conversions by the previous owner).  I will probably get an aluminum manifold
when I am ready to do this.
