- Brother-in-law's Chevy 350 -
I am looking into this matter for my brother-in-law. He had a chevy 350 rebuilt 40 over. The car starts and runs, but after about 5 min it is so loaded with fuel it will hardly idle. I pinched off his fuel line and the car idled smoother. I looked into the carb when he shut it off and it was FULL of gas ! The carb he has on the car is the one from the original engine (quadrajet), so he assumes the quad is okay. He also has a new 600 Edelbrock and gets the same results. The fuel pump is new (stock flow). The other thing is it seems only to load on the drivers side of the car. Passenger side exhaust seems okay. The drivers side exhaust you can touch the inside of the tailpipe and come out with a finger full of gas !! Pass. side clear !! He just has dual exhaust out no Y or x or h pipes of any sort. Drivers side will blow light blue smoke, but does not smell like oil. Any help is appreciated. Thanks, Tom D.
