Default Go San Francisco

You haven't lived till you have driven some of those streets in SF. They are scary big time.If you are ever out here go try them in a rental car if you have not driven.

On the fuel starve/ or flood, I will tell you of a common problem when hot out.
Our 65 GTO with four barrel, would stall out on a steep grade. The problem turned out to be a cracked rubber fuel line in the back where the tank outlet hooks to the steel line going up front. Could not draw enough fuel to keep things going.

I have seen scary rubber fuel lines on the same car. These were lines I thought were fairly new. NOT! The rubber lines at the fuel pump and the lines to the fuel filter and carb were also badly cracked. Change you rubber hoses at least every 5 yrs and be safe.
