Problems Fuel pump in high temperature.

If you had the gas tank cleaned it's probably OK and you just needed to clean that filter. Now that you have cleaned it you may be good to go without any more problems.

A very simple and easy way to know exactly the condition of the inside of your gas tank is to open your trunk, lift up the mat on the floor of the trunk, remove the piece of the floor that covers the gas gauge sending unit, remove the sending unit and look into the gas tank with a flashlight. You will be able to see clearly if the bottom is covered with rust and debris that would plug your fuel line and filters. If it looks clean, then it is clean and you needn't worry about that. If it needs cleaning you will be able to see it. Unfortunately, if it needs cleaned it can't be done just by draining the gas out of the tank either by syphoning or by removing the drain plug. (I tried that and it didn't work.) The tank would need to be removed to clean it thoroughly. It sounds like you've already done that so it should still be clean. Peek in and see if it is.

Old Henry!
Fuel Pump was right at this time, I took my car out to the road and no problems.

I test the temperature from engine motor it was 194ºF , radiator 134ºF, coil 140ºF and spark plug 201ºF ( Is It normal?) they are H10 spark plug. Before were other kind of spark plug.

Temperature raise again, no excuse radiator, dist are ok now. I ask this because when am in driving line temperature is raising by little.

I think that am near to know the principal problem, perhaps hidden problem with ignition or carb!

Thak you.

Hi!
One question from my ignorance. Intake and exhaust, the car needs valve adjustment???
could this be a problem? , I knew that the mechanics told me to do that in some moment.

Hi again!
I am remembering and last year 2011 February the first thing I did, change the engine oil, because my car was stopped a couple of months. I usually try to write in a book what change I do, and It occurred to me to check that book and "February 2011 engine oil changed" Is possible be covered the oil circuit?
Reading over there, point to oil circuit and valve adjustment.

Than you .

You said you took the car out on the road and no problems. So? What's the problem? As I recall you said your air temperature was over 100F. Engine temperature at 194 with air temperature over 100F is not bad. I would say that you don't have an overheating problem any more (if you ever did).

Champion H10C are the correct plugs. (Need the "C" for copper.)

No for two reasons: 1. Very few problems are caused by worn valve posts. 2. The valves are not adjustable as you may think of overhead valves being adjusted. The only way to adjust them is to replace them and grind the posts down to the right length. After that, there is no adjustment until you replace them again.

If the engine is running fine you don't need to replace the valves. If the engine is not running well it is most likely anything other than the valves needing replacement. You would really only replace the valves if they were no longer sealing well for compression. You would find that out be measuring the compression of each cylinder with a gauge while cranking the engine and comparing each measurement with all other pistons.

If you are suggesting that changing the oil would cause some kind of a problem, that is very unlikely unless you didn't tighten the oil pan plug or the oil filter cap and the oil all leaked out. Then you'd have a problem. But, as long as the oil is still in there (check the oil dip stick) and you have some oil pressure (check the dashboard gauge while the engine is running) you have no problems being caused by changing the oil.

Old Henry!

Thank you very much! I will try to check that tips you mention.

Hi!
I d like to know what is the original air cleaner filter that goes with carb#59, I think this must be very important mix air/fuel. Can post any picture?
What about that are small and chrome?

Thank

Harylufa

Small and chrome are usually China made and very restrictive filter element in them,try it with out the filter and see if it runs any better. ken ct usa

The original air cleaner for our cars was an "oil bath" air cleaner that had a pint of oil in the bottom that the air was directed over to catch dirt before it then passed through a filter element and into the carburetor. It was also called a "sound dampener" because of its double wall construction that acted like a "muffler" for noise coming up through the carburetor. The air filter is cleaned and oil in the air filter is changed when the oil in the engine is changed.

Here is my stock original oil bath air cleaner mounted on my Holley 59 carburetor.

Hi!
It is beautiful, I must get one, In my country saw one of this but I do not remember where.

I will back with more news.

Ken, thank for your data, i did not know that were made by China.

Thank you!

Its not the Chrome part ,its the paper filter inside thats restrictive.Find a quality one that will fit inside of it and replace it. BTW your 46 should not have the same fuel pump as "Old Henry's" he has a 47-48 which are diff. The one you have will work if in good shape but is not correct for 46 if that makes a diff to you. ken ct.
