[Chevelle-list] Solution: Hesitation, Dies when put in drive!

[John]

As you now know the carbs are different.  The bowls for a 4165 are larger and do not fit as well.  You managed a good fix with the basic differences,  Congratulations.

  Hi!

   

  As some of you might remember I've always (more or less) had a problem with hesitation
  and that it lately began to die when put in drive.

   

  From the beginning the hesitation problem was due to a gasket that partly blocked the
  hole between the acc pump & metering block (discovered that when I
  examined the old gasket a few days ago).
  And it's been like this since I bought the car a few years ago!

   

  Then I discovered that threads in the old fuel bowl was trashed and I replaced
  my old 4165 fuel bowl with a new 4150 fuel bowl. A few days ago I realized that
  the same hole in the fuel bowl now was misaligned with the hole in the metering block

  which made the flow to the squirter nozzles even poorer than from the beginning.

  Manufacturing failure or model differences? I don't know? I was told the fuel bowl was

  supposed to be "bolt on" even though the carb was a 4165 & the fuel bowls was for a 4150.

   

  Anyway!

  Now I've modified the 4150 fuel bowl acc pump hole to align with the metering block
  and I've changed all gaskets, jets & Idling screws.

  The response now when I floor it is awesome, and the primary squirter squirts like a
  "supersoaker" :-) And the problem whith the car stalling when I put her in drive is gone!

  At last! 

   

  But as usual "Mr Murphy" showed up and gave me a flat tire when I did the test run around the block :-(

   

  Best Regards
  Pelle
