Re: Got My '63 GMC Today!

Got the carb on today but it's still doing the same thing. The glass filter doesn't stay filled with gas when we try to start it which leaves us to believe there is a problem with the fuel pump. It has an electric fuel pump on the frame under the passenger side of the seat and the stock fuel pump is bypassed. We're going to put a meter on it to see if it's geting enough juice. If it's getting 12v we will try switching the pump.

The carb swap was pretty easy except there was some sort of plastic spacer stuck to the intake manifold. It wouldn't come off easily so instead of risking damage to the manifold I just bought longer bolts and put the adapter plate on over the spacer. The choke cable wasn't quite long enough either.

I'll have some pics up later tomorrow.
