Re: Engine stalls in gear

1.rusty fuel lines with a hole in it
2. you are hooked up to the wrong vacume line , you need the manifold vacume line
3.intake and carb was a waste of money 318 are short on head flow , cam lift and compression

I think the problem is the pressure from the pump, you cant use the rack and pinion pumps too low pressure , you have to use a high flow pump off of a older dodge , truck if you can get one, not all of these pumps are the same they are vehicle specific. I am not going to buy one till we all have it ...
