For either system, hardline or flex, keep in mind that every fitting in the system is a restriction. You may be running a 3/8" line but if the fittings you use have a 1/4" inner opening, for example, that could lessen the pressure/volume at the needed end. Like points of resistance in an...

The kind of customer that needs to be corralled in with paperwork, signed and copy given to owner, so that there are no "you touched it" problems later. A hard learned lesson in my past life. Cover your ***.

I hope you have the issues and feedback from the customer written down and signed. Stops wedding bells.

On Carter's, at least later ones, the carb number you're needing for kits/info etc is stamped on the throttle plate. Older ones used a tag held down by one of the screws on the lid. Carter's version of the LIST number for Holley's.

I see some of you are using the lean burn distributor. I wondered about using that. How do you connect that in? Was thinking about going EFI on my 67 wagon in the future. Has a 440 currently.

Just went and looked at mine. Thats the number.

WIX is black. Thats what I have too. Do you need a WIX number for a replacement element?

Sounds like we are dealing with a similar situation. The PO of my wagon put some generic throttle and KD cable setup on the car. Brackets are super flimsy. I have the adjustments on the cables as best as I can get but can't get full throttle or kick down. Piece by piece I have stuff coming in to...

Guess what I have in my stash. He'll be receiving it soon to peruse.

Don't forget that every fitting you have from front to back is a restrictor. Look at the id of the fittings.

I put this on my 65 thread but for those who don't view that, here is a separate thread. Many years ago I read about a simple, no dollar way to put a check valve in the throttle plate passage that the power valve gets its vacuum signal from. You can do this on 2300's[ six pack etc], 4150's[...

Not sure about the rest of the country but a few years ago a member here found that the California swill boiled at 150*. Think about that. Engine is 180*+, radiant heat from the cooling system/exhast manifolds or headers/road temps etc is adding to the fun. I like that Vapor Trapper unit but...

Maybe this Mike. I'm probably going to get one of these too when its time. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://vaporcanister.com/&ved=2ahUKEwjP1vbDwZaJAxUMD0QIHa-1LMAQFnoECBQQAQ&usg=AOvVaw1iJl3e0-uESq821lywrm6y

The boosters get swaged into the main body. Special fixture to do that. Maybe one of the carb specialists could take care of that? Woodruff is one of the site sponsors. Maybe contact them to find out. Another route would be to find a used carb at a swap meet. Clean it, use the main body and put...

Here in the PRC, we get an extra load of goodness in the fuel courtesy of CARB. Ethanol is bad enough but the state mandated package is way worse. It's a wise idea to replace fuel hose with material thats E85 compatible. Regular hose goes to poo after awhile.

Pump fuel starts to separate in a week or so. It's called "Phase Separation". There are short and long term additives you can put in the fuel, Sta-Bil is one plus Joe Gibbs, Amsoil etc that prevents this for up to a year. The PS is very tough on fuel related components over time. Kills aluminum...

See what happens when you put air though from the pump line to the tank. Maybe plugged from sitting? When you had the bowls off the Holley or the top off the TQ, did you see any grundge/rust etc lurking? Having debris in the system can cause the needle and seat not the seal like it should. Like...

Does the carb have brass or the plastic/foam floats? The foam floats get attacked by alcohol over time. Brass does not. Or if already brass, maybe a bad seam etc letting fuel in and therefore not floating.

For the ones using the stock senders, the replacement lock rings and seals suck sometimes. The rings can be thinner and softer material. Seals can be thinner too. Keep the stock ring if possible or find a good used oe one. Don't know about the seal. Maybe others will chime in with info on good ones.

Another possibility, you'll need to investigate, since you are in So Cal is JET who I think was in the Huntington Beach area. JET is Jones Electronic Tech which was the later version of Mike Jones carbs. I think one of his kids got back into doing carbs. Anyway, Mike was huge back in the day...
