Thanks! It's been a great car to learn on. My first pre 1980s car. I love Belvederes. Thinking of selling the Fury soon, I have mostly done all I want to it. I have my eye on a Barracuda, but the wife says no more than one project at a time!

PurpleBeeper: Thank you! This helps alot. I will give it a go this weekend.

Will do. I plan on doing this over the weekend. I will let y'all know how it goes. Thanks.

My service manual says 2 1/2 degrees BTDC (Pictured). I have heard others say advance the timing as far as 12 degrees. What is correct? Slant 6 225 Holley 1920 Having my first go at this tomorrow, thanks for any info. JAMES

Hello All, Anyone have a link to a good guide for reading sparkplugs on the internet? Pulled mine today. Guessing rich and oil fouled. Layed out in order left to right. Thanks for all the help. JJ

Photos attached. You can see some float particles. If it clogs and floats are $100+, I may just scrap it and find a new carb..maybe when with a the thermostatic choke, wouldn't that be nice ;)

Rebuilt the carberator and running much better now. Thanks for all the tips. I noticed that the float had some bubbles and was beginning to deteriorate. I looked around online and they are going for $100, which I do not think is worth the investment in a holley 1920. Anyone know of a place to...

Thanks Bob. I am going to take it off the engine after the holidays. Merry Xmas.

Anyone know what this hole is for? I am not seeing it mentioned in my instruction manuals. Thanks.

Figured it out. My fast idle was way off. I will post the link to the .pdf that gave me the step by step for the Holley 1920 Carberator. Thanks.

I will try giving it longer to respond today when I am tinkering. Thanks for the suggestion.

Yes I am giving it time to respond after every turn.

Hey All, I have been trying to tune my Holley 1920 with a manual choke on a 225 slant 6 motor. (Photos attached) I bought the car about a year ago and have been slowly restoring it. Overall pretty good shape. The car is driveable. I will be performing a compression test on my cylinders shortly...

Yeah I did ft lbs instead of in lbs. DUMB move I know.

Thanks for the info about MMO, I will try that. In regards to the gasket I had an issue. The instructions says explicitly 40lbs of torque to fit the valve cover back on. Used a torque wrench and tried tighting up the screws to that specification after 1st run and broke off the head of two...

Word. Thanks boss.

Just pulled the valve cover to replace a gasket and saw that I have valves that are covered in oil sludge. What could cause this? Is it worth addressing? I work from home and have limited resources and knowledge. Any information would help though! Pictures attached thanks!
