    Rebuilding carburetors at home

    From the Berryman website: Since the inception of Professional Chem-Dip Carburetor and Parts Cleaner (current part #0905) in the 1950s, the primary ingredients have been cresylic acid, methylene chloride, and sodium dichromate. Cosolvents and additives have changed a little as government...

    440 stock intake; whats the best carb choice .....

    I must have missed the thread where you showed your calculations based on measurements.

    440 stock intake; whats the best carb choice .....

    That's a lot of wordage that doesn't answer the question. Do those equations show that the AVS2 is better or not? For Bernoulli's principle to apply, the flow must be steady. Unless the plenum is extremely large, the signal to the carb is not steady but rather a series of pulses. Do you know...

    440 stock intake; whats the best carb choice .....

    The redesigned annular boosters on the AVS2 are quite responsive, and tuning is super easy. You can change the metering rods and springs without taking the top of the carb off or losing a drop of fuel. Just get the calibration kit and you have everything you need; a box with various...

    dual quad vs single quad

    Do the dual 4bbl carbs have smaller primaries than the singles?

    dual quad vs single quad

    An example from long ago on this site: Factory 383 2x4 Intake Manifold Alpar also mentions that the 1958 Plymouth 350 B engine had a 2X4 intake option, which wasn't a surprise since the previous year 1957 Fury could be had with a 2X4 318.

    Failed Smog !

    Their website claims it stands for "California Air Resources Board".

    Failed Smog !

    VV was Motorcraft, wasn't it? I never had a car with one of those.

    Failed Smog !

    I've had both. What I meant to say was that both are Ford carbs; prior to 1972 they manufactured them under the Autolite name, after that they switched to Motorcraft. For example, this Autolite 4300 looks similar to the Motorcraft 4300. (1970 version for 429 shown). My 460 (1974 cop car with...

    Failed Smog !

    I know they used Holleys, Carters etc. (they even used the Quadrajet) but on the 460 I thought it was Motorcraft (which Autolite turned into) during the majority of the 70s. I'm not a Ford expert, just asking.

    Didn't Ford use a Motorcraft carb on their engines?

    Holley 4 barrel in stock '69 318

    Those adapters work both ways, I have a couple of them. They will indeed allow a four barrel carb to work on a two barrel manifold. Perhaps it was poorly described in the Amazon page, but on their own site it mentions that: Spectre's universal Carburetor Adapter is designed to adapt 4 barrel...

    Holley 4 barrel in stock '69 318

    Well hi there, how are you? If I was putting a 4 barrel carb onto a two barrel manifold, I'd use something like this...

    Confusion on Fuel Line I.D. and O.D

    I guess it depends on whether they consider the fuel line to be a pipe, or tubing.

    Rebuilding carburetors at home

    Some of the tools used to clean paint guns will also work on carbs. www.amazon.com/DESIN-Carburetor-Cleaner-Airbrush-Cleaning/dp/B09V2W31LR/ref=sr_1_1_sspa?keywords=carburetor+jet+cleaner&qid=1704564218&sr=8-1-spons&sp_csd=d2lkZ2V0TmFtZT1zcF9hdGY&psc=1

    Carb question

    It usually opens up the choke plate about half an inch, but doesn't hold it all the way open when cold.

    Thermoquad replacement suggestions

    The nitrogen is a factor because it expands when heated up by the burning oxygen/fuel mix, helping force the piston down. Just like water, which doesn't burn, can increase thrust in a jet engine with water injection.

    Thermoquad replacement suggestions

    Oxygen is closer to 21%, nitrogen is 78% and the third gas is argon, at about 1%. The rest are, as you say, trace gasses. We're talking dry air, of course, since sometimes there is a lot of moisture in the air as well.

    Thermoquad replacement suggestions

    The size of the fuel bowl isn't a flaw, it didn't keep big block GM musclecars from completing quarter mile tests for the magazines back in the day. Of course, restrictions in the fuel lines should be avoided in any application, regardless of the carb used. If you need a large fuel bowl to act...
