Did you replace all the rubber lines? Did you install a new sender with your new tank?

I hope you didn't use one of those gas tank sealer/protector kits on your new tank. Coincidentally, I was just bitten hard by this. After experiencing similar but more severe symptoms during a road race, I took off the short rubber line going from the sender to the hard line to find a giant clog of that stuff right on the end of the hard line. Lost almost a whole race weekend for that mistake.
The rubber lines are new. I got a new tank and sending unit/pump and no sealer. I was contemplating it but I'm a poor ex-college student and I heard another story like that and got scared. lol
That sucks about your car. Glad you got it sorted out though. :(

I might still have a stock timing set laying around as I clean house. I will check tomorrow while at my shop. If so I would be willing to send it to you for the cost of shipping (been a poor college student as well, at one time).

awwe thanks so much! I really appreciate it. I got the gates kit from my dad for my birthday though. I just have to get the guts to put it on. :] I think hes still confused as to why I didn't want a gift card for the mall...and still cant figure out why I love my dart so much.

...Ford people though...lol :roll:

(I just get such a kick out of arguing with random men that no...it is NOT a 67 Belvidere :shock: and YES it is in fact my car. ...Kids these days.)

Funny you mention that, The two life long friends I got have all owned fords. One I went to school with we got so good at the Trans in his 86 Foxbody that we could do it in 30 min. :shock:
Now his father, rolled a shell of a 71 Torino sports roof in the garage and we all had our hands in the restoration. (ford torino wiki, the first orange and black with a shaker hood photo) Grant he has a high compression engine and 4 speed but Im secretly going to through an hx-35 in my slant truck to show that he's not as fast as he thinks he is. :twisted:

Good luck on the carb and dont let the chain get to ya, just time and patience and you'll be up and going in no time.

Edit: I do have more than two friends :wink:

K so....I took the carb apart and its missing this "diaphragm spring" referenced in this article:

http://www.slantsix.org/forum/viewtopic.php?p=228965

which according to that article will fix my assumed flat spot.

so.....where do I find one? or maybe have one? or know which one in the fancy holly kit is the one I need? :/

TheStig,

They don't come in any rebuild kit I have ever seen. I had taken apart my carb last year and after pulling the economizer body the spring shot out....and I could never locate it. Probably lit on the k-frame somewhere and fell off when I was driving.

So after doing a lot of research I ended up using the lightest spring from a Holley Secondary vacuum spring kit, HLY-20-13 It is also called the Quick Change Spring kit, for $12.95 from Summit racing. I think I had to slightly bend the outside diameter to slightly reduce the over all diameter a little. Just use needle nose pliers and take your time. It works great! and the pump shot is stronger than ever! Looking down the throat and working the throttle, the pump shot is huge! With the spring back in there where it belongs, it helps the dual action movement of the accelerator pump to where I can break loose the tires again and that is with a sure-grip rear end. It is nice to have the spunk back! :D :D :D

Hope this helps!
