After all the repairs I made to my Coronet over the winter. I scheduled Sea Trials for Saturday.
Going to run about 100 miles. Going to do a test and tune, and hope I don't need my AAA card and a roll back!

Road side repair.
A check up from the "man".
The fix... Accelerator pump
came off the plunger and got hung up in the base spring of my edlebrock.
Weird that should happen?

Has me a little worried. I was running down the highway. When you put your foot in it? It would lay down. I pulled into a parking lot came to a stop and it died right there blocking traffic. I cranked and cranked. Nope.
I pushed it out of the way.. I started digging in the trunk for tools. I turn around and the "Man" is standing behind me...he asks a bunch of questions and leaves...they were not good questions either ....
Okay. Back to my problem.
After all the cranking and pumping. No gas smell. No squirt sound!
I pulled off the top of my edlebrock and there was the problem.. The
on the accel pump was off and pounded into the base spring...
