Hi,
When a fuel pump is dying, will it work fine when cold, but when the engine ('65 200 I6) is hot start giving me problems?
My car dies when it gets hot (after driving for about 15 minutes). It dies when I stop after braking. It starts back up, but the hotter it gets, the worse my problem.
I've tried 2 different carbs (Holley rebuilds), so I've pretty much ruled that out.
I have bent the fuel line away from the block in an attempt to keep it cooler. The exhaust is on the right side of the engine and the fuel line is on the left side, so I really don't think it's the line.
I don't have points, I have a Pertronix ignitor. Could this ignitor be going bad?
I think I'll replace the fuel pump if you all think this could be symptomatic of one going bad.
Please help, I'm at my wits end.
Thanks for your time,
John Thomas
