Hi David

My car is using a Facet Red Top fuel pump and a Weber (or Edelbrock) 500 carb. The pump has a reasonably high capcity and can supply more than the 5.5 - 6 psi pressure required. I checked it last night and it still seems to be pushing out the correct amount. The carb was bought new and jetted / set up by the company I got it from. My next step will now have to be checking the internals for a blockage and the float level setting as you have suggested.

I have got new spark plugs, ignition coil, HT leads, rotor arm etc.etc. but there may still be an electrical issue I have missed I suppose. I will check the carb set up out and see what happens. If this does not work it must be an electrical problem causing this intermittent misfire.

Regards

Simon
