Problem getting fuel
Hello my name is Mitchell I came to your forum because I have a problem with my car and I don't really have the money to take it to a shop.
We use to drive our 82 vette daily until it started running rough, it idles great , runs up until about 1/4 throttle any more it boggs out. If I take the filers off and watch the fuel coming out I can see after 1/4 throttle the fuel dosnt come out full it spits it out full then stops then full then stops.
We replaced fuel pump and sending unit, I'm thinking it has something to do with the little things over the intake that spray the gas , any help is much appreciated !

My 73 had the same Problem. The fuel line from frame to pump had been replaced with a piece of regular fuel line. It was collapsing. I replaced mine with the preformed one z shaped from Eckler's. Run's like a champ now.
