where do you run your return line from on the carby?
I used to have a mechanical fuelpump that had a return to tank outlet on it but that long since died and got replaced with a single outlet fuel pump, you can make up a T junction and stick it up as close to the carb as you can get it and put a reducer in the return to tank side of it
the holley I'm running at the moment on my 40 series would be the best one I've had out of the collection of them I've got down in the shed, its pretty reasonable for a carb with flooding and rarely stalls on steep shit when I come off the loud pedal back onto the idle jet, (I have got my idle up a bit higher being a manual) I think most of it would come down to the electric fuel pump is running pretty low pressure and flow, I had the opersite problem recently with the truck running out of gas on the loudpedal and traced that back to a bad earth on the fuel pump and it wasnt pumping enough gas through, its all good again now since I replaced the earth
when I first started playing with chevys and carbs off road I was always told by the gurus the best thing to do is look at the fuel system and how much gas and overfueling your trying to force into the float bowl
) and at all angles in between & better on fuel than the holley. not as common though and mine keeps leaking
.this time round and on 4.1s things should be a lot better.always had plenty of pony's when required.
