1967 Coronet, 383/496, Fitech FI w 340lph inline fuel pump, return line to tank and internal return line to opposite corner of tank as pickup all 3/8 line. 122° outside air temp yesterday, engine running at 210°. Feel engine surging then dies. Turn of, turn on n crank, no start. Try for 30 minutes w 5 minutes in between for cooling. Hear whistling from fuel tank and open gas cap. Fuel gushes out and massive air pressure pushing out. Try to start again for about 20 minutes, still no start. Leave car for 3 hours, come back and starts right up and makes it home. Fitech, last week, had said that the inline fuel pump may be overheating when it shut off but restarted multiple times last weekend. A couple questions, 1: does this sound right? 2: does the '67 b-body have a vented or non vented tank,. 3: does it sound like I wasted $550 for new tank and inline pump, that was only option when I purchased. Now, for approx $580 Aeromotive has ready to run tank w built in hi pressure hi volume fuel pump. Thanks for any input.
