Engine is lean... how to check?
 

I believe my engine is runing lean. It gets INCREDIBLY hot and requires the pedal to be pressed down quite a bit. This all happened after I changed my fuel pump from one that leaks to one that does not. Ever since, I've had to press the pedal down further to get the car moving. It is a carbureted car, if that helps. HOW can I check (not via spark plugs) if my engine is running lean?

A/F meter. Autometer

Eh, block head, whazzup?

Use can use an exhaust gas temp sensor or (I know you don't like electronics on cars) a Oxygen sensor, but just hooked up to a LED box since it wont mean anything to a carbed engine.

P.S

Block head when are you gonna get your spare cylinder head cleaned?

WTF are you doing here volkswagen?

Isn't there an easier way?!!?
