I need your help - air bubbles in the gas filter!

Steve Evans · 2003-08-10T01:40:52+00:00

Have a 1974 SB (everything stock), After I'm running for a while (no timeframe) could be 15 minutes, could be 45 minutes, the gas in the fuel filterstarts to bubble (like there's air in the line), and the engine dies.If I pump the peddle (many times) it will turn over, but stall again.I have checked for any air holes in the fuel line to no avail!If I run the engine with the gas cap off, same problem.If I were to install an electric fuel pump, would this solve the problem?Will have to put a toggle switch on the dash to start and stop the pumpwhen I start the car?I don't want to drive it very far, and this problem has made me start toloose interest on working to restore it!Any ideas!Thanks!

Those crap, do-nothing products make me wonder why we shouldn't just cop-out, get rich and at the last week of our life spend everything we made for prime-time media adverts saying "YER SCREWED! IT WAS ALL A HOAX!", but then nobody would believe it anyway.
