HEAT PROBLEMS; RUNNING DRY

I have the same symptom, it's a pontiac 350 in a 66 gto, but the carb just rebuilt due to leaks, and it starts cold no problem, and runs fine, but after I shut it off and try to start again, it won't. If I try to start it the next day, starts instantly. I was told it was a backflow problem. I will do more research and get back to you.

That's better, but an electric pump has a difficult time "pulling" fuel- it does a better job "pushing" fuel, so mounting it lower than the fuel level, back at the tank, is better.

Don't forget to filter the fuel, as well.
