Re: Dodge 440... No Power by BUBBA THE BUS TECH
Post New Message I would start by checking a few things right off, voltage out of the ignition switch to the coil etc, engine temp, the most probable if it carborated is fuel pressure. If the tank has crud in it it could plug off the sock in the tank that is the first pre filter, the dirt could fall off over an hour or so shut down. The way to check without dropping the tank is wait until the power goes away and compare fuel pressure at the carb inlet to what it had after the cold start. The fuel pressure will vary but shouldnt change a whole bunch. Carborated engines run under 10 psi fuel pressure usually so a proper calibrated guage is needed and a carfull instal to prevent problems and serious and perhaps fatal fuel fires. Then there is the carb itself, they were known to be problimatic. Good Luck
