So I'll start by saying I'm new to these cars. I got my grandfathers old '78 351W up and running this weekend after sitting for 6+ years. I changed the air filter, fuel filter, brake and steering fluid, oil & filter, plugs, battery and gas...
the only problem I am noticing now is that the fuel pump is slowly spitting fuel out the top-back side of it. It starts spitting about 20-30 seconds after firing it up. Is it completely shot?? or can it be repaired or cleaned
I tried gettin up underneath to take it out and examine but for the life of me, I could Not get my hands/wrench up in there to take out the 2 bolts to pull it out. I pulled the lines off and pulled the oil filter out... still couldnt get enough wiggle room. Any suggesions??? or just have it taken to a shop
