Hi,
I am new to the forum. I just bought a one owner 1962 GT Hawk. Good and both Bad that it is a one owner car. Many maintenance items have gone un-touched. I bought from Iowa (cold) Shipped to my home in Florida (hot)
It runs to an open thermostat (new 180 stat) temp then sputters and dies. I re-routed and changed the metal 5/16" fuel line laying against the exhaust manifold to a 5/16 steel braided flex up over and around the power steering pump. A mechanical fuel pump that looks fairly new. A new Mallory dist. and coil, new wires and plugs. Adjusted valves. Use 92 octane ethanol free gas.
Runs and idles flawlessly until it sputters and dies-out. I have read discussion of blocking the exhaust cross-over. Florida is warm so poor choke performance may not be an issue. I don't really want to do this
Here is a link to a fuel filter with a return port. Comments on this? Will it solve my problem? Does the side return tap need to go all the way back to the tank? This is my preferred solution should your comments indicate this will work.
Should this be the advised solution, how do I add a return tap to the tank?
