more carb/fuel help
Dodge B150van 318, auto. Rebuilt the carb. replaced the fuel pum and a few lines yesterday. The damn thing just won't start after sitting more than a few hours, seems like the fuel in the bowl of the carb just goes away. Anyone have any thoughts?

Joe, I'm in Mexico. I went to 4 diffrent dealerships to have the fuel pump tested and not one single on of them had a fuel pressure gauge. They think I'm the man in the moon. If I hold the choke plate open I can see gas dribbling into the carb after it's been started with gas earlier. By the way it's a holley 2280

Joe there are no auto zones in Mexico or certainly none on their web site. I just found a guy in Brooklyn who will mail me a carb. Don't care about the cost. Just want to be able to start in the morning. Shoud be here Friday. I'll install it and go from there. Thanks
