I’m pretty particular about my marinara. Often I’d rather just have spaghetti with a bit of olive oil, crushed garlic, red pepper - con oglio style

One of my favorite combos is olive oil, sauteed garlic and sweet onion, fresh parm, kalamata olives and prosciutto. Whenever we make that there are zero left overs. It's not easy to eat 3/4 lb of pasta but somehow I manage. lol

Good. Just taking care of business around the sac. Helped Doug install tile in his master bedroom. Been working on our Firebird and finally got that up and running for the most part. Getting ready to head to the cabin for Xmas.




This is to anyone who knows anything about carburetors/older cars. Our 1971 Firebird will loose all the gas in the fuel line that runs into the carb if it sits more than a day or two. We have a hard time starting the car due to this. The fuel pump doesn't seem to prime the line enough until I spray the carb with some cleaner and get the engine fired up. Then the fuel starts flowing normally.

My guess is the fuel pump has seals in it and it's letting the gas siphon back or something to that effect. It's the stock fuel pump as far as we can tell (doesn't look like it's ever been replaced). I've been reading the carb can also cause this to happen but I can't get specifics as to why or how to fix that. One person suggested an anti-siphon fitting that won't allow the gas to go back regardless of the issue. That seems like a band-aid to me and I'd rather fix the issue if possible. I replaced all the fuel lines in the car and ensured the tank isn't cracked/leaking anywhere. So I feel that the tank/lines are not part of this problem and I'm still leaning towards the fuel pump.

My next step was to rip out the fuel pump and get a new one. But I'm open to suggestions.



Question Two:

If the fuel pump is the issue, stick with mechanical to keep the car as stock as possible (It's bone stock now with all matching numbers except for the engine)

OR

Get a electrical pump.
Older post. Been awhile since I checked in. What kinda carb? Original quadrajet? If it is those are common for the well plugs to leak on the bottom of the carburetor. I'm very experienced on fixing quadrajets. Rebuilt probably 2000 of them things.
