Both carbs are late forties or early fifties. Maybe trucks because of the manual chokes. Chrysler and Chevy.
They should be stamped on the body right above or in front of the fuel fitting.
JB weld if you let it dry. But a helicoil is the way to go.
It wasn't because of the guy dumping his Harley when the rear belt snapped. Apparently there was some trouble and the cops decided it was getting...
Here's a few more
Edelbrock for a stock or even slightly worked street car.
I'll be there
I'm convinced my hands hate each other, my right hand is always trying to kill my left with screwdrivers,hammers,razor knives etc.
Jack up the back with air shocks or shackles,60 tires, paint the gas tank and rear white and have the reverse lights on in first gear. Everybody...
Take the top back off,remove the primary boosters and blow them out. The idle jet is the small tube in the center,so make sure that's clear....
If there is an exhaust passage in the intake manifold across the front of the carb you have to have the steel plate to block it off. If you leave...
390 Holleys
All throttle shafts leak a little because they are metal on metal,even when they have a new bushing.The leak is magnified because it's so lean....
The idle passages on a reverse idle carb are different in the body and the base. It's more than just switching the front block. I don't think it's...

We leave North Jersey at 5 am,then we just pull right in at 7:30
The idle jets are the smallest in the carb. If you upset some crud in the bowls the're the first ones to get plugged up.
Key on power from the fuse block would be better. The choke gets hot because it's a controlled short circuit. You don't need a voltage drop at the...
Sometimes if you have a lopey cam the orange one will make it idle better
The bigger jets go in the primary side so the metering rods won't block the jets completely.
Yes the're the same, what sizes do you need?
If one screw is out too far the other won't react. Screw the one in that seems to work until it idles rough then try it. If that doesn't work it...
I have a used one, pm me if you still need it.
The Lokar cables work real nice, just put them in my daughter's 48 F3 with a nine inch.
I'll be there for sure, it's a blast!!
