I finally got my car what I thought was running right. However after a half hour drive the car started to buck at around 3000 rpm. When I came to a stop the car just died. It would restart, but as soon as I gave it some gas it would just die. Acted like it was starved for fuel.
The TPS has been adjusted per the tech articale on pelican. The plugs look good, pump runs and is getting fuel to the cylinders. I thought it could be the fuel filter. This is where it gets strange. My car is a 74 which should have a small inlet and outlet. The filter is in its stock location but has a small inlet and a large outlet like the filters on a 75, 76. The filter on the right is the replacement, the filter on the left came out of the car. ![]() The fuel pump was relocated to the front at some point. Couple of questions. #1 Does anyone have pictures of a installation and did you leave the filter in the stock location? #2 Should the filter be between the tank and the pump,not after the pump? #3 The fuel filter that I removed was bulged outward. What could cause this? I'm sure I will come up with more questions. Just a little tired right now. |

One of Babydoll's ('74 2.0) previous owners moved the fuel pump up front, by the steering rack. The filter is a square plastic one like your picture. It sits between the fuel tank and the fuel pump. On the tank end it has a large nipple and on the pump end it has a small nipple. Seems like a convenient way to convert hose sizes between the tank and the pump.
Make sure you have good tunnel fuel lines if you're pumping high pressure fuel through them. |
