I found them on eBay more reasonably priced than I expected. Just have to look a bit and make sure you are getting the right thread. 1st one I ordered the seller sent me one for a Holley by mistake, but did take it back.

Years back I tried a number of times to use adapter plates because of lack of funds. At least 90% of the time it didn't work out well. You'll likely have trouble getting a good seal around the secondaries and hood clearance might be a problem/

Nothing wrong with an AVS. Kit probably because the accelerator pumps tend to dry out. Check throttle shafts to see that they don't wobble in the base. If so they should be bushed. One suggestion I found first hand helps idle quality a bunch with current gas quality: enlarge the idle jet some. I...

Most decent rebuild kits include a chart with settings by year, model or similar differentiators. That's a good place to start. Make sure the plunger is in good shape and not shrunk away from the wall of the fuel well. Ethanol can kill a new plunger pretty quickly if it's not ethanol compatible...

The carb looks to be very nicely finished. The vacuum canister has been changed to a later model unit. I wouldn't be afraid of it. The secondary metering block gives you more flexibility in fine tuning things. I'd try starting the engine again and see what happens. There's lots of smarter...

I don't think you stated what your engine setup was. I've run 750's on lots of small block Chevy's over the years. You can over carb an engine to a point. They tend to like to run real good when you've got your foot in it, but can be difficult to get through things like idle, off idle...

I understood some early 3310's were actually rated at 780 cfm. Later versions and those with a secondary metering plate were rated at 750 cfm. There was a way to visually confirm by looking at the inside of the carb, but I can't recall now what it was. Anyway, I do have a very old 3310 with...

I had always been under the impression Weber made some carbs for Carter/Edelbrock. I don't recall which owned the company at that point. A few years back I followed up on a Craislist ad for a 318 poly 2X4 intake setup with Weber carbs. I had to see that. When I got there the carbs even had the...

I had one come off completely and used the JB Weld. 6 years now and so far so good.

I have a 66 Coronet wagon and a 69 Satellite wagon. They were purchased separately and both had been sitting so long the tanks were either shot or so full of varnish there was no saving them. I'd looked into this some time ago because the wagon tanks were so darn expensive. A member had told me...

Absolutely. For street driving, I've consistently found a smaller carburetor to be more responsive overall. Let's face it, we're not into the secondaries hard all that often, and seldom see even 6000 RPM driving around town. It's much like the tendency to pick a cam shaft with a power band well...

As an aside, I've seen coils that will jump a spark plug in the atmosphere but won't fire under compression. You said the coil had been replaced though. This sounds almost like a cracked distributor cap.

Good write up. I'd done the same thing for my 360/Thermoquad plow truck. Sure made starting on bitter cold mornings a lot easier. Has worked without issue for 8 years now.
