need info about a 76 b21f 200 1976

posted by  someone claiming to be bob from pittsburgh on  Wed Sep 10 15:55 CST 2003 [RELATED]

the hard start when hot could be a bad check valve in the fuel pump(this was very common). if you look under the hood,on drivers side of engine there is a small square plug that plugs into the sensor plate housing that the fuel distributor mounts to. this plug locks on with a small wire clip and sort of points towards the strut tower. unplug this and the fuel pump will start to run as soon as the key is turned on. when the car is hot,turn the key on and wait a few seconds and then try to start the car,giving about a quarter throttle if need be.
also, 1976 did not have a pre-pump in the tank(from the factory)they were added later at the dealer. if the car would sit in the sun or the temp outside was very warm they would vapor lock. this could happen also if the pre-pump is bad.
p would try the plug first and listen the thepump. you will actually be able to hear the fuel coming up to the engine.
