Hi all, today I was out driving the 63, and it started feeling like it had no power, bogging out and stuff, until it finally died on the side of the road. I had the wife bring me starting fluid, at which point it ran until the fluid dissipated. I took the line off the carb, removed the filter from the carb, and cranked the motor, no fuel shot out. So I sent her to get some gas, and dumped 5 gallons into the car (dunno the status of the gauge, it was reading half, and it seemed to work before) Shot it with the starting fluid, and it cranked right over. I drove it for about 2 minutes, then it did it again. Got out, sprayed the fluid, and started it up, I'd go to rev it up, it would die. Finally, it started back up, and ran the 35 seconds it took to get to my driveway. Also, there's a strange "knocking" noise from the motor that wasn't there before, not as loud as a rod knock, but not as quiet as a lifter tick. I don't know if this is coincidental or not. Any ideas? Thank you. Dan McIntosh1963 Impala SS ConvertibleRollerz Only C.C.http://www.lowriderimpala.com
RE: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb?
Timing chain wouldn’t run with just fuel in the carb then quit when fuel ran out, it’d either run very rough or not at all. Don’t know if someone suggested fuel pump and/or fuel pump rod. No pressure from the pump and I’ve had fuel pump rods break making a hell of a noise. Dale McIntosh 67 El Camino 1967 Chevelle Reference CD beta now available!

Re: [Chevelle-list] fuel pump or carb?
The knocking noise was going on when I started it up today, before the stalling problem, almost sounds like it's from the carb. Remember, the front of my car bounces 30-40 inches in the air, so strange thing could happen. Now that I think about it, I was hopping it hard last time I drove it, and when I restarted it, it sounded funny, but I disregarded it thinking maybe I cracked an exhaust manifold or something, never checked it out though. I only had to drive it a few seconds to get it home after the hopping last time. I have no clue what I screwed up this time.

[Chevelle-list] 396 Build
Hey guys, Was wondering if any of you out there are running a 396 or 402 that makes 400 to 450 hp? Im looking for a good build up to follow and right now have a fully machined block (68 396 bored .030 over) with stock pistons, .010 under crank, and a pair of 69 heads (cast number 3931063 96.4 2.06, 1.72). Any help on picking out a camshaft, intake, carb, ect. would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again –RJ Winkler
