'80 high fuel pressure
Check previous thread...'float bowls overfilling'
Ok, so just turned ignition to on with the gas cap loose after rapping the carb as suggested in previous reply post. Fuel pump is working but bowls are still overfilling. A pressure gauge was hooked up and reads 6.5 psi!!!. Shop manual says it should be 3.7-4.7 psi so does anyone know if the fuel pump pressure can be adjusted or do I need a new fuel pump. Napa auto parts any good or can anyone have a reason for a better supplier? Maybe something else is causing the pressure to be so high.
I need some suggestions from some members with tech experience. Looks to us like another tow to a hoist. Would like to drive the car again before fall. What happened?...last year I was able to drive lots and quite a distance on the highways. Need some help!
