    Are Factory Small Block Fuel Pumps All the Same?

    I see Rock Auto lists the same fuel pump for '71-'72 318 and 340 engines (i.e. Carter M6866). Did the factory equip them the same also when new? Thank you.

    ThermoQuad Secondaries Not Opening All The Way

    Getting ready to rebuild the 6139S ThermoQuad I plan to use on the '72 Satellite Sebring Plus 340/305 project (see thread: "Project Odyssey"). Well, took the carb out of the box it was shipped in and first thing I did was open the throttle. I found the secondaries would only open part way. Oh...

    What Choke Are You Using for Your 1973 340?

    Evidently the factory Thermo-Quad equipped 1973 340 (intake manifold casting #3671918) used a thermostatic choke along with an electric wire that attached to a solid state "controller" that assisted in opening the choke a little quicker than from crossover heat alone. Common knowledge/experience...

    Why the Fuel Return Line on Only Some Models?

    The fuel gauge failed again on the '72 Satellite Sebring Plus. Last time is was the float. This time I have a new/larger pick-up (photo 1) and 3/8" to 5/16" adaptor (photo 2) I am thinking about installing (see photo). The pickup has provisions for a 1/4" return line which I will need to plug...

    Fuel Line Adaptor Stainless or Brass: Any Preference?

    I might be swapping out the 5/16' line fuel tank pickup for a 3/8" fuel line pickup in the '72 Satellite Sebring Plus. I see online hose adaptor samples in either stainless steel or brass. I was just naturally going to purchase brass, but now with a choice I'm not sure the best way to go? Thank you.

    Never seen a low rise dual quad intake on a 383?

    I was curious who runs this type of intake manifold either at the strip or on the street on their 383 (any brand intake, either 180 or 360 design)? Never seen one on a car, although back in the day I was tempted to put one on my parents factory new '71 383 Road Runner.

    Posted this question on FABO also. Have a 1973 NOS Carter two-barrel for my 318 I am installing to replace the original 1972 Carter two-barrel. Need to use the old bracket/stud that the air cleaner wing nut screws onto. How on earth do I remove the bracket/stud from the old carb, seems to be...
