Even if you used the tool to block it, there is still a chance the tool was used on a bad proportioning valve.

Hello all,
Having an issue with front brakes getting locked up after pushing the pedal down a couple times. The pressure won’t release. I replaced the calipers and the rubber lines. Already but the problem remains. I’ve also blocked the proportioning valve with a tool that keeps the valve in the middle for bleeding the system so the valve shouldn’t be moving and blocking the front for the pressure to release. Any ideas? Got new calipers from oriley and there aren’t any leaks in the system.

New tank, straps, sending unit is the right way to do it. Otherwise the only safe method is to drop a fuel cell in the bed as a temporary solution.

Whoa, I have the same symptom with my Holley 4bbl. If it sits several days I can't start it without starting fluid/gas. But once it's running it runs great, and it will start right away if you start it every few days. I'll definitely be watching this thread to learn how to diagnose the issue.

It will be interesting to hear what you find when you remove the rear plate. FWIW, the rear plate retaining bolts on any SBC water pump of this design should be checked before installing the pump - no exceptions. I've encountered loose bolts, stripped threads, wrong bolts, even missing gaskets - not often, but then I wrenched in a GMC dealership for 20-some years.

Thanks bd! The Fel-Pro Gasket instructions say use it dry, yet it does not give the torque values. I am supposed to receive the gaskets on in two days and they were free since the water pump was new.
PS: I have attached two different pictures of the same two Alt and A/C belts I am using.

If you look to the right of the belt choice, there is the Sanden PN# listed, 6629, 6664, 6673, etc....these are the magic numbers in Sandenland. For example, my V-belt powered compressor was a 6664, which converted to a 967213 at NAPA.

Now, start the engine and let it run for a minute. Shut the engine off and recheck the accelerator pump operation. If it works after running the engine, you'll need to determine whether the fuel bowl is draining out while sitting for a spell.
Couldn't say on the Edelbrock kits, but I would anticipate some differences between carb models.
Thanks I know if I start it, shut it off like going to a car cruise, it will restart. The fuel filter stays full. I will look further into it and report back. Thanks Rich

What engines does the "Sanden style SD5H14 compressor" work with?
Or actually more to the point, if I want a similar setup as the OP is recommending, what is the correct model for a 454?

Sorry I am dumb on this stuff, but I think you are saying the compressor doesn't matter, it's just a matter of having the right bracket?
