    extracting a brass tube from my power generator carb

    Hooray, gotta love FBBBBO (For B Body Big Brains Only) Nobody on the Internet said that tube extended into the Venturi. I had the confidence to push harder when it resisted. It finally popped, after working it and back and forth. It was fairly clean in spite of being partially sealed. It and...

    extracting a brass tube from my power generator carb

    for some reason, they have that tube (like the carb, no longer available) in between the Main Jet and the mixture screw. It is recessed from the Jet, which has an orifice the diameter of a paper staple. The tube has an o-ring and I want to replace all of the o-rings, carb and tank, while I...

    extracting a brass tube from my power generator carb

    The brass main nozzle is stuck. I ran the body in my ultrasonic cleaner for 3 hours, no luck. It's #9 in the photo and has an orifice that is .063 inch diameter. A 1/16th tap? It's sunk in about one inch. I was thinking of using a tap, but that's a last ditch tactic. Any better ideas?

    Looking for vacuum line diagrams for 1974 slant six with single barrel carb

    is this it? I have had cars that needed what you propose and sometimes fixing the leaks and routing correctly had a dramatic effect in the car's performance.

    I was transporting my 67 Satellite and managed to puncture the newer steel gas tank. Can I repair or need to replace?

    I can only tell you what I have done many times, and would do instead of spending $200, though the actual hole doesn't show well on my laptop. It looks like it would need a patch rather than the hole welded up. I would drain the tank, stick a garden hose in another tailpipe and run exhaust...

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    It has a stripped hole, but it's never been port matched or ground on, so I left it. Here is the color in bright sunlight. The stripped hole has a 1/2 inch crack and would be better fixed with it welded shut, drilled, and tapped again.

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    Deep Creep didn't do much. Made a runner cleaner with steel wool and zip ties. Laquer thinner with a tooth brush followed by carb cleaner, then the car wash. I washed it with Dawn and steel wool.

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    The intake was fairly clean. About an hour with thinner and a tooth brush. Cleaned the under side, then top, then under, then top. Next I'll scrub it with steel wool and Dawn before paint, but how to remove the carbon? The internet says SeaFoam Deep Creep.

    Fuel Overload Fresh Engine Build

    Might be a. good time to change the oil. These work, 1-6 pounds. I would rather source a proper pressure pump than add parts and fittings to a fuel system. Less chance of a leak someday.

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    bought it, $220 to the door. 33 Imp read my mind. I'll grind the Edelbrock off and paint it blue to pass it off as original.

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    I just bought one. It may need one heli-coil. Depends if a 1966 afb uses the small or large bolt pattern. One of the larger pattern holes is stripped. $180, shipping will be from $25-$82. Remains to be seen. If Speedee doesn't do call tags any more, it will be the 82.

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    I'm using the original 1966 AFB on a fresh stock motor with lightly ported 452 heads, 1968 HP exhaust, and a "383 Magnum" grind camshaft. It came with a standard cam (325 horse) So, the larger runners hold a bigger charge even though it's sucked through the same size hole in the head?

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    $10 per horsepower gain is inviting. They look very much like a stock manifold, only slightly bloated. What is WAG?

    dp4b vs 1966 intake

    After searching the advertising highway for a half hour, I give up. Question: Similar in design, how much better is the dp4b than an OEM 1966 four barrel?

    Failed Smog !

    wonder how that will affect the RV crowd. There's a private post office box store north of Rapid with 8,000 addresses. They claim a box counts as a physical address. The County loves the money, but I'm surprised California insurance companies let them get away with it. I want to know if...

    Will Hemi fuel lines fit OEM low deck dual quad (with photo)

    Bought a box of "car parts", online auction. They were GenII Hemi. The auctioneer is lazy so the photo showed nothing. The sale ws near me, so I went to look. The auctioneer isn't knowledgeable, not recognizing Hemi valve covers. Especially since the estate had a 1966 Coronet and 1969...

    Air grabber/Ram Charger question

    This place says they have everything. My local NAPA has an old fittings box that has 100 different fittings. They got it when they bought out the local A1 store. The guy who owned that could find ANYTHING. It may have been that he didn't quit when a part didn't fall in his lap. "NAPA"...
