Lots of YouTube videos on timing and idle mixture settings using a vacuum gauge. Idle mixture may need to rich up some.

I forgot about creating a small vacuum leak. Worked on my friends El Camino when he lived in the people's republic.

From an old Mercedes forum this is just to get past the emissions testing, I'd go for it. I wouldn't leave it that way all the time, unless you want poorer fuel economy. I've had to do this for years with my old Jeep to get past the "smog nazis". I retard the timing about 4-6 degrees, lean...

Guaranteed to Pass is similar to Seafoam and other strong cleaners. The idea is it cleans your valves for better compression and cleaner ignition, etc. As I recall the people's republic smog test is at idle, correct? Google retard timing to pass smog and read about what that impacts. I think...

You can retard the timing and lean the idle to help. Fresh plugs might also help. Catalytic converter might need replacement?

I do not know the original application for the air cleaner. That was the mystery I was trying to solve when searching for air filters.

Well I went down to O'Reilly's and picked up a 42116. Put it on the base and it fit perfectly. Then when I placed it in the lid I got the oh duh you're an idiot feeling. The baffle panels dictate the minimum height of the air filter. So the filter that was in there wasn't even sealing properly...

Thank you. That 42116 looks like it would work!

Thanks. Looks like to get the correct ID of 11 1/16 and the OD of 12 13/16 I have only two choices. WIX 42043 which is what 'the book' says the proper filter. This seems to be almost 1/4 inch too tall. I have a gap all around the bottom of the air cleaner. I guess this is acceptable as long as...

I've spent way too much time trying to figure out what air filter I need for my dual snorkel air cleaner. The car is a 1967 coronet with Edelbrock 1406 on a 440. The Wix 42043 which is the application part number is the correct diameter, but seems to be a 1/4 too tall. The air filter that is on...

Chinesium?

Check the carb nuts and make certain all vacuum lines are good.

Old post. Dennis is running EFI and electric pump. Hopefully all is good now.

The latest issue of Chrysler Power magazine sort of addresses what you say, although they defend that they have never experienced a out of box defect.

Assume this fixed your problem? Just curious.

I believe ever B body with a replacement tank and newer sending unit does have this problem. At least everyone I know has the issue.

I think it is a capillary effect of hot gasoline with ethanol.

@Dennis H had a very custom engineered solution for this, but I can't find the thread.

I have used StaBil 360 for several years on the advice of the previous owner of my car. Two ounces per 6 gallons. Not sure if it's helping, but have not had any issues, either. If anything it helps me worry about one less thing about the car.
