Why would I waste the time and effort on that? I really just want to know if you guys think the pump is wasted or if I have a clog in the return line. I personally don't even believe the pump is putting out 11 PSI, but I have no way to check.

So I think the guy on Superior Carburetor was smoking rock cocaine. My flooding issue was due to me not plugging in a vacuum line that, in a roundabout way, fucked with the MAP sensor. Plugged that back in, and now that little 145hp V8 has balls, albeit tiny, again.

I still need someone to fine tune this carb though. Does anybody on here work with or know someone who works with feedback Q-Jet carbs? If I could get this carb professionally tuned right, I could easily get another 100k out of that engine. 145hp V8 = reliable as fuck.
