Hello everyone, I did a search and did not find much help so that is why I am posting.
My old original carburetor was leaking and running poorly so I heard of someone on this forum putting a later model carb on their 235. I have a 52 AD with a 58 235. I am not sure what year the old carb was, 52 or 58. The replacement is one I purchased off of e-Bay and it is for a early 70's model Chevy truck. The carb fit ok, the linkage hooked right up but it appears the fuel pump which I replaced about 200 miles ago can't supply the fuel. Is that even possible? If I disconnect the fuel line at the carb and crank the engine fuel sort of squirts out but not with very much pressure. Should I try a later model fuel pump and which years will fit? Or should I buy an electric fuel pump and which is the most refliable? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
One bonus to the later carb is an electric choke and an AC solenoid that will kick on when I turn on the AC. I sure hope I can get this to work.
Thanks
