Ok, not sure where to start...
So I will start with my vehicle = 1969 Camaro.
Next a quick little run down on my engine:
350 target master block, stock internals "crank, rods, pistons"
993 heads 1.94/1.50 (Rebuilt about 2-3 years ago)
mild cam not sure on specs
gear drive
headers
650 holley double pumper
holley street dominator manifold
mechanical stock fuel pump
summit racing's ignition set up "distributor(msd style), coil (accel style), box (mallory style)"
Backed by a stock th-350 Trans...
Ok, now here is my problem. About a month and a half ago weather was hot outside 100+. I had took the car out for a ride about 25 miles freeway driving (not smart I know), when I got off the freeway and came up to a stop light finally, the car started to chug like I was running out of fuel. So I checked the gauge it showed I had over a 1/4 tank. So I went straight back home. I figured awgh maybe the car got a little warm (no temp gauge, not smart again I know), and it just needed a rest.
A few days later I went to take it out for a ride 80* weather. I got about 10 blocks from the house when it started chugging again. So I turned it around and barely made it home as it died pulling into my driveway. It was then very hard to start, I thought maybe it was flooded. Not sure though...
I then popped the hood, and started to try and figure out what was going on, I noticed my inline glass fuel filter looked a lil dirty and empty, so I swapped it out for a new one. Got it started same problem. Then noticed the filter was bubbling like there was air or something in there.
So I took the hose off the side that exits towards the carb and put the hose into a bottle and cranked it, It shot fuel straight through no problem.
I had an old guy tell me "oohhhhh its your needle valve clogging, there no more then $15 go pick one up". So I did and that didn't fix it.
Does anyone have an idea on what this could be I would love to drive my car again. If you have any questions please ask, let me help you help me, lol
By the way when I say chugging i mean the car feels like i am driving through a tomato field, and if I press the gas more the car will die out and when i let off if will come back but just enough to idle along with light pressure on the pedal.
Did I overheat and break something, do I have fuel issues?
Please help...
