I'm not exactly near that area, but it isn't that far away either, earliest I could do is tomorrow afternoon, do we have any contact info or do you want me to post in the CB.com post and get it? |

All you brother. I's just letting everyone know in the event someone could help out. I'm kind of on this good deeds/good karma kick lately. Next thing you know, I'll be wearing Birkenstocks and singing Kumbaya. |

I don't get back to the Mile High until Friday afternoon. Maybe we could do it after the T4T on Saturday ? |

I posted up in the CB.com thread to PM me the contact info, Billie I'll take you up on the help if I get in touch with her and the timing will work. Anyone know if a 351 fuel pump is the same as a 302? I carry a spare so I could do the job in about 10 minutes. |

Being it's a '78, I'm going to say it is likely a 351M, not a 351W. If that is the case, the parts numbers I pull up for a 302 and a 351M do NOT match up. Were I closer, I'd pull the pump from the 400M I have sitting in the garage which is a direct swap. If it turns out to be a 351W, you're money. |

Hey Guys... I've got to work a little later tomorrow, so probably not much help. Kirk...text me or call me if you need me to head down. With that being said, Plumbdoctor lives in Golden and might be of some help. He doesn't check the site too frequently, so might be worth a PM or call. Many apologies for being  in Ft. Collins :)If this is a repost...first one didn't show up! Matt |

Kirk, Have you talked to her to get an idea of what's wrong? Phil |

I talked to her and got some info. Sounds like a carb flooding problem, possibly dirt in the fuel lines. She said fuel was leaking out of the carb. She bought a carb kit today. I'm planning to meet her up at the truck tomorrow morning at 10:30. |

Let me know if the re is anything I can do. I would be willing to run parts or tools up as needed. best contact info is on the member page. I am sure we can get her running. And worst case, my project manager here is somewhat of an expert on 70's ford trucks having b uild several from scraps lying about, he is booked tomorrow but I bet Friday we can solve all her problems. Good luck Gents, Greg |

It's running again. Big thanks to plumbdoctor for the help. We replaced some carb parts then couldn't get it to fire off. A little troubleshooting and we had it narrowed down to a bad coil. Put a new coil in and still had fuel pouring from the carb. I quess that's what happens when two EFI guys try to work on one of those antique mixers. Luckily I brought my old carb along and we were able to swap it out and get it running. |

I bet "Matt the carb" could have gotten it figured out, did you keep the carb to rebuild it? Glad you got her going again. |
