OK.. so i read every "Fuel System" thread in this forum and I didn't find anything that seemed to mirror my issue.
Here is the run down:
I have a 289 with and Elde 4bbl, mechanical fuel pump. tied into the fuel line is a see thru Mr. Gasket fuel filter and a Jegs brand fuel pressure gage.
When I first start up the car I get 4psi on the gage and gas can be seen running thru the filter, after about 15min and getting the car up to temp, the gage falls of to 0psi and slightly less fuel can be seen travling thru the filter.
This is where it gets strange:: The car still runs...HELL.. it runs fine... I drove the car in city traffic and highway the hour from my house to downtown Nashville TN. and it never gave me trouble.
I rev it up, drop it down, rev it up and keep it their (approx 2800 rpm) and the engine still sings along great..the whole time the fuel gage reads zero.. and it look like hardly any fuel is moving thru the filter
So whatcha think?
