As a follow up, my customer is very pleased with getting the correct carb installed. The GTO is much better, starting and driving. We had one...
You can go to pretty much any parts store, Advance Auto for one, and they will check it for you. They can test the battery, alternator and starter...
Thanks again, Jon. You are the MAN! Found a 7027262 in California for $1500! The right carb will have this GTO running better than ever.
Excellent info. Thanks. I will run this by the owner. Question: If we keep this Edlebrock carb, could we change jets/ metering rods to make it...
Makes sense now. Car is restored and carb looks new. The choke linkage isn't really compatible with the Pontiac "choke stove" deal. I will end up...
I have a 67 GTO, 400 engine. The quadrajet has the number 8905 1902 stamped on the side. The choke linkage is not correct on this carb. The...
I drag raced for about 30 years. We always put the coli inside the car on the firewall. Might not look that great, but keeps it cooler. Sent from...
Thanks, Jon. I really enjoy finding out about the logic and science behind these innovations. I have a manual called the 1955 Chevrolet...
I have refilled the tank with 94octane plus some Octane boost. Just wanted to make sure there was no ethanol lurking around. Sent from my SGP561...
I get an intermittent back fire. Was worse until, I got the accelerator pumps working better. Sent from my SGP561 using Tapatalk
I switch out the points for a mag trigger deal that uses the points cam. No help. No idea what is correct for the carbs, but it does seem be lean....
Yes. Sent from my SGP561 using Tapatalk
Exactly. The 57 is an early build with the 56 heads and the carb nos. in the quote. I made a plug to maximize pump shot. Sent from my SGP561...
Thanks. Got some information back from Mikes Carb parts. Some of the carbs had a plug and some have this jet like relief orifice. Since the pump...
I am still scratching. Vette is driving me crazy. So far, I have replaced ignition with breakerless, new wires, plugs, coil, rebuilt carbs,...
I have a 57 Vette with 2-4 barrels. While rebuilding the carbs I found 2 jet like brass things screwed into the accelerator pump passage. I tried...
Bingo! It has the four hole manifold. This is an early production 57, with the 56 heads. Hence the 4 hole manifold. Thanks the help. Sent from...
This is a customer car. His wife had to have it. It is pretty much original. Just need it to run smoothly and appear original. Thanks. Sent...
Which way would you orient the common holes? Passengers front to drivers rear? And are both carbs done the same? Looking at the dual plane...
I am rebuilding the carbs for a dual quad 57 Vette. The kits came with 2 base to manifold gaskets. One is a 4 hole. The other has the primary of...
I wondered what that was. I am a little bit north and out of town and not right close to the college. My son was staying with a few summers ago....
I lived pretty close to Niagara Dragway growing up. It closed in 73, while I was away in the Army in Germany. I raced for years at Lancaster,...
