Ok, so I started my 460 for the first time today since I bought the truck it is in. How thirsty are these things? I used a section of hose from the fuel pump down to a 20 ounce plastic bottle on the ground. The truck has no radiator, so I ran the engine LESS than two minutes... mostly idling and just a few times revving it.
It used 100 ounces (5 of the 20oz bottles I was using) of gas for 2 minutes of running! While idling, it will suck the 20 oz bottle dry in about 15 seconds.
The oil smelled like gas when I bought it, and he said it had an old junk Holley carb that dumped gas in like crazy. It now has a new Carter AFB (Edelbrock?) 750 on it. The exhaust smelled real rich. Maybe something is messed up in the carb?
