I just installed a new spectra tank in my 70 barracuda.
After install I only installed 2 gallons of fuel.
Ran the car down the highway for 2 miles.
On the way back, when slowing down I floored it, well kinda floored it. front end raised well but it lost power, not electrical power, the gas went away for a moment. Came back within reasonable time, few blocks. I turned onto a street, floored it in first and it died by the time I was turning the corner. Then I cranked it about 4 times and it started back up.
I then proceeded to slide sideways, pointing myself into my driveway and it drove up into the garage quite easily.
I'm quite a bit rich. I changed jetting size for Carlisle and this is the first time it's been alive since. This is not a rich carb problem.
I don't have a screen on the pick up, I have a fram HPG-1 cannister filter on the exterior of the tank.
I'm wondering, since I only put two gallons into the tank, would the car push the gas to the rear of the tank when I take off. Then causing the car to lose fuel into the pick up?
Affirmative. :alan2cents:
:iagree:
This ain't a Chevy! :haha:
Thanks for reaffirming that.
What is the difference with the chevy?
