Default Re: 39 ford flathead

Hey -

Where in NJ are you?

I am in Bridgewater - not too far from any place.

If it's running on the squirts it could be that you lost prime on your fuel line/pump.

I had that on my 39 pickup.

The cork gaskets on the sediment bowl are always suspect. Any air in the fuel sediment bowl will break that prime.

Clogged line or aftermarket filter could also be part of the problem.

Let me know..............
