Hey gang,
So it's time for my stupid mechanic question of the week.
Truck runs great on level ground, climbing a hill, or on the gradual downhill. But if I hit a sudden downhill slope - I'm talking about when I drop the front end into a mud hole or deep rut when off-roading - the truck immediately dies. Pump the gas twice and it fires right back up. Very clearly a fuel issue.
Running a Holley 600. Open the float viewing screws and fuel is just at the lower level of the threads. Rock the truck a little bit and fuel spills out.
I've read in a few threads that the trick is to lower the float bowls. Anybody got any thoughts or suggestions?
