Okay, I bought my fairlane 6/170 from a family member 3 yrs ago. That first year I barely drove it, maybe 100 miles in short trips but the engine ran strong. Turns out the tranny was bad and I really just wanted to update it and some other components, ie: brakes/brake lines, go through the rear end and I did install a T5 tranny, etc.
Well that took 2 yrs to do, no surprise there, I was having fun going slow.

That brings me to now, I am finally getting her on the road, just this past week i have installed a new gas tank, and new fuel pump and fliter, and am having some issues with it stalling/flooding?
It'll start great, then while driving if I misjudge where to shift the T5 and it bogs it'll die, then it's impossible to get it going again without it flooding and me having to hold the pedal to the floor to get her to start.
Three years ago I went through and cleaned out the autolite 1100 and installed new plugs/cap/rotor, the points had just been done.

Is it possible the carb needs to be gone through again because it sat so long while I was fixing it? I haven't done anything yet, just wanting ideas of where to go? I plan on checking the plugs to see what they look like and scan over the cap/rotor again for anything odd.
In my little non mechanical mind, I don't think the T5 would be the culprit would it?
Any thoughts or suggestions are welcome, sorry for such a long post.

I am fooling around trying to work out the best location for my flathead Cadillac cannister oil filter.

Before I make a final decision, any words of experience would be appreciated.

For example is there a limnit of too high or too low or say too far etc.

I had hoped to install it on the firewall of my model T, the way things are going I may not have the room or easy access to it there.

I believe originally they were installed at the front of the LH head.
Unfortunately, that position is spoken for with other bolt on stuff. so I am now considering a side back end location off the LH head.

Anybody had any ideas or what I need to consider when choosing a location???
Fortunately the Cadillac cannister is a little smaller in size compared to other makes and models... ]]> Hokey Ass Message Board fiftyv8 http://www.jalopyjournal.com/forum/showthread.php?t=810334 Anyone need transport of a car from Portland area south to N.

Finally joined and looking to learn from everyone.
Got my first ever project and started working a week ago.
It's a 2door chevy fleetline deluxe. Starting by putting a
motor and trans. Then on from there. Lots of ideas I'd like
to pursue and will be searching here for everything. I don't have
any car building skills, but have in laws who are deep into traditional
rodding and especially drag racing from the 50's thru the 80's. I will be
all my own work with just guidance from the family.
Will post project pics once I get more accustomed to posting. ]]> New to the H.A.M.B.? Introduce yourself here!
