  1. Stock Chevy Discussion 55-56-57
    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...

    Hello from Australia, My second ever question regarding my original 57 4 door 210. I recently changed the tank sender unit because i ran out of fuel when the gauge was still reading 1/4 full. Now that the tank sender is replaced i have a few issues. - Gauge only reads 3/4 with a full tank of...
  5. Safety Tips, Keep it Safe
    Have you found a safe way to carry reserve fuel, portable or fixed unit? Carrying a gas can in the trunk does not seem wise. Except for maybe a safety designed fuel cell, that alluring space in front of the radiator seems like an obvious mistake as well. I'm not ready for the expense or...
  6. Fuel Systems/Injection, Carburation, Supercharging
    1956 150 with 74 vintage 350 with mild cam and Edelbrock 4 bbl. 5/16" OD steel line from tank to standard mechanical fuel pump. I installed the clear plastic fuel filter that comes with the carb. The fuel delivery appears to be very poor. See attached pic - it's not a great pic, but it might...
  7. Fuel Systems/Injection, Carburation, Supercharging
    I just had my carburetor gaskets replaced and all that, and i found that the carb is shot. It wont keep the idle that it is given so it is stuck on high idle. So what would you guys recommend for a four barrel carb? I have a 57 intake manifold on there according to the numbers (3731398) and I...
  8. Fuel Systems/Injection, Carburation, Supercharging
    My car always has gas fly out the back end whenever i try to put gas on. This seems to happen to many other people, and the best advice i have found so far has been to listen to the pump. But i read about this and it seems this happens because the gas pump nozzles for leaded fuel were bigger...
  9. Stock Chevy Discussion 55-56-57
    Posted this in the tri-five Corvette forum, but it may be better here: Was at a friend's house (lady friend of my wife actually) showing her my newest hot rod. After a ride she mentioned that her ex-husband had left a motor in her garage and would I take a look at it? Of course, there was no...

    Hi guys I recently purchased a 1957 Chevy 3100 with the original 235 6cyl engine. The other day she just quit on me and I have not been able to get her started since. I replaced the fuel pump as th e lines were dry before and after the pump so I thought no big deal. She cranked right over after...
  12. Stock Chevy Discussion 55-56-57
    Hey Everyone, I have been going crazy trying to fix my 1957 210 4 door sedan. I replaced the gas sender unit, all fuel lines, fuel cap, put on a glass fuel filter, and replaced all connectors from the fuel filter to the carb. I finally got it to stop leaking from the fuel pump to carb and got...
  13. Stock Chevy Discussion 55-56-57
    I had my engine rebuilt a while ago. Ever since then, it takes a fairly long time to start unless I have used the car within a day. If I haven't it acts like I haven't used it in a month. It cranks strong while it's trying to start, and doesn't have any problems once started. Once I've used it...
