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...

Send your unit out to Harm's or Woodruff[ one of the site sponsors] to get a TRUE REBUILT carb. If you go with Rock or one of the many parts stores, all you're getting is a carb like yours, which most likely has worn throttle shafts etc, but all thats been done is it was cleaned[ maybe] and had...

I learned about main bodies being warped back in the 70's. For sure they cause poor running and no matter what you try, just can't get them to run right due to internal leaks. When I first flattened them out, I used a single cut file. Later on I had an aluminum block made that would just fit on...

I drove the car around today. Took it to AAA, got the registration squared away and personalized plates ordered, did a couple of other errands, headed home, stopped off to see a friend, went to the post office then home. The gauge acted normal below 1/2 tank. Car was shut off at all my stops...

On my new acquisition, 67 Coronet deluxe wagon, looks like the sender needs to be replaced. There is a dead spot at just under 1/2 to a little under 1/4 tank. Was reading ok then I noticed the needle went well past E, stayed there for awhile, came back some then past E and finally stayed normal...

...a line you run after that restriction to try and feed the engine. Add onto that the set size coming off the pump. On top of that you have a hard 90* transition as opposed to a flow 90*. Anyway, thats what I've been tossing around in my mind. On the basket/baffles, one of the posters on...

When I worked at the speed shop, this is the unit we used/sold for the Performer intakes. Gives you enough to seal out vacuum leaks and not raise the carb up. Edelbrock Carburetor Adapters 2732

I'm having better luck using the TIG on the sheetmetal. My MIG just loves to blow holes through. Hopefully when I upgrade welders in the future, that issue diminishes with the MIG. As you know, you make do with what you have available. Keeps you entertained. I like your improvising with the...

Greg, as you point out, that style of filter base is set up for the Holley/Demon center hung float units. There was a spacer that Carter made, think it was 3/4" tall, that was a bandaid fix. We found that ROCKET, CP and a couple of other companies back in the day made a drop base that fit all...

As a PSA for ya'll, years ago I was using the Fram racing unit with the chrome canister. It was rated at 10 microns. I still got rust past it giving me many issues. I looked though the Fram catalog, in the back, found there was a replacement cartridge that fit that unit too rated at 5 microns...

By some of the discussions here, it sounds like there is a source for rebuilding the sender. Who does this? Also, who is making a sender gasket thats not a pos?

Thats along the line of the one I made.

...Can't remember if it was made by Cal Van, Thexton or another company. Anyway, it was about a foot long with a twist knob up top, had a 90* angle gear drive on the other end with a hex key tip sized for Delco points. I figured, hey, I'll pull the hex end out and put a short stub of pocket...

For the fellow residents of the PRC, here is some info that may benefit those close enough to an Indian Casino. A friend of mine who I grew up with near San Diego lives in Vegas and hauls fuel. I called him one day to shoot the breeze, catch up etc and see where he was at the time. He said he...

Rodents love wiring too.

I like the size of the fuel basket they put in there. The pictures on their site are deceiving.

If you have not done it yet, get the intake valley pan with the blocked off heat riser ports. Keeps the intake cooler which keeps carb cooler.

Give it a whirl. It will be interesting to see how it goes for you compared to other states with different fuel recipes. Out here, along with Ethanol in the mix, we have the CARB [california air resources board] package which further creates issues on the fuel.

I'm rethinking the a/f unit on my 65. Was originally planning to do old school NASCAR cowl induction. Already cut a hole in the firewall, started making a hat, then put it on the back burner due to moving homesteads in 18. Now I'm going to look at heading to the front instead. I may see if I can...
