Hi every body,

After some month without get started, when I tried I had fire back on the carb, so I disassemble the carb for uncork it, today I replace the carb, no fire but no fuel come to the carb, can't start the car,
have an idea ?

Thanks

Now you've sorted it you may have jammed the needle and seat closed, split a fuel line or even have a ruptured diagram in the fuel pump.
Pull the butterflies back, pour about an egg cup full of fuel down front and rear of the carb.
Crank the car and see if it ignites and idles for a few seconds.
You're just going to have to work thru it slowly

Okay thanks I will say you when I try.

So, for the information, I aspirated fuel just above the fuel filter (yes its disgusting), put some fuel on front and rear of the carb and I start the engine for a few seconds, Now I have fuel in the carb (a lil of overflowing) and no fire back, so thanks you Adrien !

Good news, did the car continue to run? Time to strip and rebuild the carb and thoroughly clean with some solvent cleaner through all the jets, air bleeds etc.

No just something like 15 seconds,can't start again, I already clean the carb but I thing I will need a rebuild kit, did you know where I can find the carb number ? Just to be sure the rebuild kit will fit, thanks.

What carb is it? A Holley is easy enough to identify, an Edelbrock is simple cos there's only one type of each model, Thermoquads easy too.
Got pix?

Its a holley, look like good when I pump with the hand, I dont know

[Adrian Worman]

That looks like an old 780cfm 4150 DP with the airhorn machined off.

Got any part numbers on it you can give us, apart from the 1444 thats in the pic?

[Apewalski70]

I will tell you that thuesday or wednesday, a 780 cfm is a good choise for a 440 ?

[Adrian Worman]

Yeah it may be old but it's a perfect size, easy to tune too, I luv double pumpers

[Apewalski70]

Perfect
