    fuel pump

    Yeah yeah yeah, i know it is another question about fuel pump.
    My fuel pump is starting to ask weard again. it died on me last year. i changed to one from autozone. so now it starting to do the same thing. sometimes my car runs great with now fuel starvation and sometimes it coughs when i between 2000-3000 power band. it is like it doesn't get enough fuel or something.
    and i know it is not my fuel filters. i change them when i changed my pump.

    so here is the question can it be that my pump is going dead or something else? does any one makes a good pumps for carbed cars?

    i am also concern about my spark plugs. they are running hot. everytime i take them out for inspection, they are white color. and it is sign for advanced timing (with i have on my car) or it is too hot.

    What kind spark plugs should i get to run them colder?

    What do you guys think about iridium spark plugs?

    thanks a lot guys.
    Alex.

    i would change the fuel filters anyway ! i change them every year regulary ! they don't cost much !

    about the spark thing ! i think white means lean or rich mixture ( air /fuel )
    my car had a problem in its power band ! 3000 > 4000 ! so it was the sparks + wires ( they were still the originals ! ) and the air fuel mixture wasn't set correctly ! try adjusting it using the idle mixture screw located behind the carb !
    here is a link to a carb how to ! ( tha took the shit outa of me ! )
