Re: 64 ford fairlane bogs at wot. any ideas?
ford ran alot of returnless systems on carb setups.
replace the fuel filter with a clear fram filter BEFORE the pump, not after.
float could be out of adjustment?
get a brand name fuelpump, mechanical from summit
can you have it bog wot in neutral? what carb? etc
oh that line on the exh manifold is hotair choke. might want it

it doesn't bog in park or neutral.
it's not an electric after market fuel pump. it's an oem replacement. not a universal pump...
still trying things, but i'm pretty damn sure it's not the pump.

Re: 64 ford fairlane bogs at wot. any ideas?
the pump is from vatozone, but oem replacement is not universal. it's vehicle specific.
anyway it's not the pump.
the filter inside was brand new looking.
one of my friends said something about the accelerator pump inside the carb. said that when you are not in gear it's fine, but in gear it's bogging means accelerator pump.
i'm starting to lean towards the tranny though. the trans fluid smells normal and doesn't look burnt, but it feels like the tranny is crapping out.
when i'm in park i can rev it to 5k rpms and hold it there for a few mins, but if i'm driving and gas it then it bogs. i can feel it kick down into low, but it doesn't take off. also if i drop it in low and gas it, it bogs also.
i'm gonna do a compression test tomorrow just in case something is wrong inside the engine, but how can i test the tranny?
should i jack up the car and drive with the wheels off the ground?

autolite carbs ------- blow.
save yourself the headache and get a holley 2bbl, 350cfm or 500cfm, direct bolton, better performance, easy to work on, etc etc
www.binderbulletin.org should have a carb, just ask. most of the vehicles came with holley 2bbl's on that site
