    Plymouth Valliant 64 carburator problem

    Here’s an example from an American online parts company (Parts Geek) https://www.partsgeek.com/catalog/1964/plymouth/valiant/carburetion/carburetor_repair_kit.html What you really need to do is determine what “number” carburetor you have. The carburetor number is one of the numbers on the...

    Plymouth Valliant 64 carburator problem

    That is your fuel bowl vent, similar to the center carburetor on a six pack setup. If fuel comes out there, you either have a “sunk float” with a hole in it OR a needle & seat that is stuck open. The float and needle&seat work exactly like a toilet. Water (or gas) fills up, float goes up & shuts...

    2 Fuel Pump Gaskets?

    Put too many in the box by mistake

    Failed Smog !

    I don’t know what carburetor you have. Check online for the idle mixture screw. The CRC stuff is supposed to clean catalytic converters and I’m not sure if it works.

    Failed Smog !

    I just read an emissions tip that said high CO means it’s running rich. Is your California test at idle? On a treadmill? The article mentions a dirty air filter & another poster’s idea about leaning out the idle mixture screws (more air, less fuel) would help

    Fuel return line plumbing.

    Look for a "dolphin" fuel gauge adjuster. I just installed one, but haven't calibrated it yet, so I can't swear it works. It's small and has buttons inside & a screw adjuster.

    Intake manifold height

    The CH4B is the only aftermarket intake that I know of that will fit, but these guys may be correct about other intakes (?). As far as the air cleaner - it won’t help you a with a 440 engine.

    Ceramic or powder coating for intake and carbs?

    That I’m not sure about

    Ceramic or powder coating for intake and carbs?

    Powder coating that looks like chrome tarnishes the second you touch it. If you put clear over it, it doesn’t look like chrome anymore.

    Carb and intake comparability

    318's have smaller intake ports than 340's or 360's (fyi). I believe (?) some very late-model 318's came with 4-barrels, so those intake manifolds have the smaller intake ports. My suggestion is find some 360 2-barrel heads (identical to 4-barrel heads, 340 or 360). 600-650 cfm is about right...

    Carter BB fuel pump

    Super dumb question...is this a "numbers car" which makes you want to keep the original fuel pump housing? $28 Autozone https://www.autozone.com/external-engine/fuel-pump/p/delphi-fuel-pump-amf0056/463073_0_0?searchText=fuel+pump

    Is a Edelbrock 1406 are good carb?

    Asking about carburetors always gets a TON of different responses. Here are the key issues to minimize the number of "adapters" & "modifications" you have to do and end up with a good result: 1. What carburetor "style" will your intake accept? I think you have a "straight bore" intake manifold...

    Is a Edelbrock 1406 are good carb?

    Original carb list https://www.mopar1.us/moparcarblist.html I would suggest you pick a carburetor about 600-650 cfm, Holley vacuum secondary or Edelbrock (used to be Carter). Original carb (or a close year) makes installation easier (but it ain't hard anyway)

    Six Pack "Manual" Servo Choke

    Really? Yes, a 440. I've read so much about choke issues without a heat crossover. My choke works fine too with iron intake & iron heads. I'm just a littler nervous about it working with aluminum heads (without cross over) & aluminum intake

    Six Pack "Manual" Servo Choke

    I'm piecing together a new motor & I have a set of Edelbrock aluminum heads with no heat crossover. I street drive this car and want the choke to work (fyi-my factory choke works fine with iron heads). The center six pack carbs don't have the right holes to install a manual choke (what I'd...

    Vented Gas Caps

    I suppose you could, but I would prefer the vent lines to be sure the gas tank doesn't collapse

    Fine tuning mixture via air filter?

    As I understand it, in general, denser air = more power. You could be right about it being closer to perfect air/fuel mixture in cooler air though. With no technology to work with, I think you're down to reading your plugs and setting idle mixture by "maximum rpm at idle". I'm not sure about...
