Car dies or quits only in drive

IT WILL IMMEDIATELY FIRE BACK UP?

IF NOT - WILL IT (FIRE UP/ OR WANT TO BETTER) IF YOU DUMP 2 TEASPOONS (OR EQUIVALENT) OF GAS DOWN THE CARB?

RESULTS?

CAN YOU TEST FOR SPARK DURING THIS "DOWN PERIOD" IF THE "SPLASH OF FUEL" FAILED?

STILL GOT POINTS? OR HAVE YOU UPGRADED?

THE MORE INFO, THE MERRIER!

KEEP US INFORMED

THE MEDIC

Yes, it does fire back up, it still has the points and condenser. Put on the new carburetor, first than the fuel pump after it died. The first new fuel pump lasted about 2 weeks. The 2nd pump didn't have enough p.S.I. 1.4. This is when I started having running problems, I noticed that the fuel pump was not keeping the clear gas filter full of gas so changed out the fuel pump again to a 1.8 p.S.I. Pump. STILL DIES! I read on the web that it might be the starter relay or the voltage regulator put no go!

The broken wire on the points will be easy to check out, I'm bit of a novice on some things, a grounded out set of points, I'm not sure what that means, please explain. If I put in another set of points, Do know where I can get a timing light?

SO FAR

THOSE 2 ITEMS ARE THE FURTHEST FROM MY DIAGNOSIS, MAYBE AFTER THE RIGHT FRONT TIRE! Lol!

I'M STICKING WITH FUEL (OR SOMETHING IN THAT SYSTEM)

OR IGNITION

THE "NOT FULL FUEL FILTER" IS NORMAL (MOST OF THE TIME) AS ONLY WHAT'S NEEDED GOES THRU

YOU MIGHT VERIFY THIS BY HOLDING THE OUTLET END UP (VERTICAL) AND WATCH IT FULLY FILL AS IT MUST FILL UP TO REACH THE UPPER HOSE

STILL, WITHOUT RULING OUT A CARB PROBLEM (OR MAYBE A FILTER, A SMALL ONE, SCREWED INTO THE CARB, THAT YOU MAY HAVE OVERLOOKED, THAT MAY BE MOSTLY STOPPED UP) I HAVE SEEN FOLKS THAT DID NOT KNOW THAT WAS A FILTER - NOT PART OF THE CARB. CASE IN POINT FELLER W/ 1976 FORD F-150 2 BBL CARB AT ADVANCE AUTO PART'S PARKING LOT

LET'S RULE OUT A TANK TO THE FUEL PUMP PROBLEM

WE'RE GONNA "JUG IT" (THAT IS, IF YOU DO NOT HAVE A RETURN LINE TO THE TANK)

LET'S GET A ANTIFREEZE JUG (OR SIMILAR) AND DRILL A HOLE BIG ENOUGH IN THE JUG'S CAP FOR THE RUBBER HOSE THAT ENTERS YOUR FUEL PUMP- SUCTION SIDE (GAS TANK SIDE)

(MINE, ON MY JEEPS WOULD BE 5/16)

TIE/ WIRE THE JUG NEAR THE FUEL PUMP TO THE VEHICLE

TAKE THE "FUEL TANK" HOSE LOOSE AT THE FUEL PUMP

USING A LONG ENOUGH, NEW/ FRESH PIECE OF HOSE, STICK IT INTO THE DRILLED HOLE ALL THE WAY TO THE BOTTOM OF THE JUG

THEN HOOK IT TO THE FUEL PUMP

NOW, THE SCREEN/ SOCK/ CRIMPED OR COLLAPSED LINE/ OR ANY HOLE PRIOR TO THE PUMP IS NO LONGER IN THE EQUATION

FILL THE JUG WITH FUEL, AND DRIVE IT 'ROUND AND 'ROUND THE BLOCK, JUST IN CASE YOU MIGHT HAVE TO WALK BACK!

DID WE MAKE IT FURTHER?

I CAN ALSO ASSIST YOU ON THE TIMING

LET'S ONLY PLAY WITH ONE THING AT A TIME

MORE FACTORS MAY MESS US UP!

MECHANICAL OR ELECTRIC PUMP?

NUTHIN' WRONG WITH A MECHANICAL- CHEAPER AND SEEM TO BE A LOT MORE RELIABLE
