    My 318 has always ran rich with this carb. Can anybody simplify my choice of adjustment kits?

    defrost bypass door orientation on a b body 74' non ac htr box.

    I'm hoping someone with a manual can help me. The flap or door that bypasses for defrost can go in 2 or 3 ways, thanks to a 1 screw, triangular bracket.

    74' 727 TF. odometer is off, or slow by 2- tenths, or its logging 8- tenths as 1 mile. This translates to 10 + miles per hour slower reading on the speedo.
