<VV> 110 WOWS!

[henry kaczmarek]

Joe---Dennis has part of the problem.

Remember all gasoline has some water in it.  That's why gas tanks rust from 
the inside out.
If it's been 3-4 years, you might have some corrosion in the tank, and it's 
gathering around the filter sock, compressing it and stifiling the gas flow. 
Just a thought.

Sounds to me like the gas cap is not properly vented.

My wife has a '66 110 powerglide convertable. After driving around for 20
miles or so the engine sounds and feels like it is trying to run out of
fuel.
For short trips around town the car runs GREAT with no problems at all.

Have a eletric pump plus the old manual. I do not think it is vapor locking,

just don't see how it could, all lines are away from all heat sourses. It
kind
of acts like vapor loocking though, but I just can't figure out how.

Could the old manual pump that is still in the system be giving me a
problem?
Even though I have a elteric one at the tank, have been running it this way
for
3 or 4 years though.

Anyone have any other ideas?...Thank you in advance,
Joe Reid,
Brownsburg Indiana
