carb?

[holley68]

When my 79 J-10 with a 258 has been setting out all night it is hard to crack. It is near impossible without starter fluid, and when cold backfire. I though maybe the accerlater pump was going out on the carb. But I am not for sure. If this is the problem what is the best way going about rebuilding the carb. or replacing it.

... You need to give the guys a little more INFO

Do you know what Carburetor you have? Like is it a Motor-Craft 2150 2 Barrel...

as far as gas.... you could pull the air horn, and see if you have gas in the bowl or... try pressing the throttle all the way down a few times.... in fact if you have a helper, look down the throat of the carb.... if there is gas squirink....do not start the engine.... or you may fry your eyebrows......

also check timing.

The carb. is a one barrel. I have lined up a person to rebuild the carb. this weekend. So if everything goes to plan, I will know what the problem is by sat. night.
