    Snapped an idle mixture screw Carter AVS - HELP!!

    One last idea I had…..just start to tap the hole now & let the remainder of the screw get chewed up by the tap (?)

    Snapped an idle mixture screw Carter AVS - HELP!!

    Dang, I’ve been running Holleys for a long time…. Does that mixture screw have a “pointed nose” and stick into a precision hole or something??? I’m guessing it’s a precision screw/hole. If yes, I don’t think your idea would work. Maybe try a top quality EZ out and go nuts with the torch? What...

    Mechanical fuel pump install

    Mechanical fuel pump install

    Pnora is correct. You’re probably trying to compress the pump arm spring while the arm is on the lobe of the cam. If you rotate the engine you should get off of that “fuel pump lobe” and have an easier time installing the pump

    Air grabber N96 actuator and hoses routing

    I just went through this on my 70 air grabber. The main problem with actuators is a seal that goes around the rod that moves back & forth. Mine was like this. Apparently, that seal is extremely hard to find. I’ve read about some people patching the seal up with silicone. Now the good news….if...

    Six pack outboard carb question

    Hmmmm….I don’t think the outboards act as an air bleed??? The easiest way to restrict the air flow to/from the outboards would be to insert something inside the hose with a hole drilled in it. There used to be some kind of “fix” where BB’s were put inside the holes at the outboard nipples, but I...

    426 Cross Ram Carbs For Street Use
