    57, 283, Carter WCFB, Mechanical Fuel Pump, Powerglide, about 3.73 differential. What do I need to troubleshoot or look for or suspect? Sorry for the length, but it seems important to the question. 98% of the time the car runs smooth. Occasionally, it flutters out under normal acceleration...

    My 57 with a Rochester 2 jet, inline filter, and mechanical fuel pump loses its prime in 24 hours. I have to dump gas in the carb to get it running. Once it's running it runs like A champ. After shutdown, 24 hours later the inline filter is dry, and it won't start without a gas dump in the carb...

    i know this is an old topic-I can't believe I'm the first to do this. I put a new fuel pump on my 57's 235. I got it on and it worked great-but the connectors were dripping. I tightened the in and the out and the in has been just fine. I tried tightening the connector and got it snug but it...

    With a stock 235, what are people using for a replacement fuel pump (make and model number)? I'm having trouble locating the correct one. Also if you can suggest a location to buy one that would be great.

    Does anybody know if there are any hi-flow mechanical fuel pumps for a 235? I have found replacement fuel pumps but I would like to see if there is a high flow pump that will fit this engine. Thanks for your help. Steve

    I've installed a LT1 with 4L60E in my 56 Belair. I have a new stock gas tank. Can I use it with an external fuel pump? If so, who is making one that will work.

    Hey everyone, Im trying to replace my butchered fuel line (you know, part metal, part rubber) from the pump to the carb with braided. Its a 350 with what I assume is a stock GM mech. pump. I tried a 3/8 to AN 6 adapter and it did not want to thread into the pump. Any ideas for what size I...
