Thanks bud, I guees I'll have to take a rain check lol.
Yeah the only rubber line is coming from the tanks to the selector
and a little bit going to the metal fuel line.

pokethesmot · 03-13-2009, 09:06 PM

now what would be the size of the fuel line

dammitmitchell · 03-13-2009, 09:36 PM

hey dude take 20 bucks and a few chunks of the fuel line with you the store
now measure each length of rubber tubing and orgonise them by size...
then buy one foot longer of each size (cause im tard and usually cut the wrong length he he he)

He said the pump was only pushing air at this point, and let's not be smackin
his antique Quadrajet, it's allready on it's last legs.

pokethesmot · 03-14-2009, 06:36 PM

well it runs

dammitmitchell · 03-14-2009, 09:27 PM

well what did ya end up doin dude?

pokethesmot · 03-14-2009, 11:28 PM

scratch that it dosent run it ran for a little bit cuz i played with the selectore valve could this be the problem

pokethesmot · 03-15-2009, 09:46 AM

how do i bypass the selector valve

oh yeah and i guess my truck was plumbed for the 3rd line cuz i found it on my frame and hooked it up

heavychevy79 · 03-15-2009, 04:24 PM

You will need the right sized fitting or a piece of metal fuel line.
Just take the hose coming from the tank and hook it to the one going to the cab.

It may just be the switch inside acting up and not making the selector shift all
the way. Like Willet said, "just play with it".

pokethesmot · 03-15-2009, 04:22 PM

ok another update it seems to work when i unhook the pumps rubber line from the metal line and put it into a jar of gas it sucks the gas right up. i tried bypassing the valve and it dint work so i think there is some kind of blockage expressively since when i unhooked the valve. the rubber line to the tank was pressurized

Then your selector must be stuck in between. Keep switching it and maybe it
will brake free. You might tap on it a little too.

pokethesmot · 03-15-2009, 05:39 PM

well it dint work even after i bypassed it

heavychevy79 · 03-15-2009, 06:05 PM

But it will run off of the jar of gas by the fuel pump?

manimal · 03-15-2009, 06:56 PM

You seem to be leaving out some info. Just try what I suggested THEN post the results.

pokethesmot · 03-17-2009, 02:17 PM

it was the valve switch it was clogged up with something i shot some compressed air in it and some white flaky thing fell out and now it runs great i just pulled out a bush with it but now the ass end is squeaky lol

**raggedjim** · 03-17-2009, 02:29 PM

This reminds me of talking to my wife on the phone trying to figure out why her car wouldn't start...

73chevyman · 03-18-2009, 08:48 PM
