Ed,
I appreciate the info. you are giving me...it is very helpful. I am planning to finish setting the timing tonight or tommorow, and planning to cap off the inner vac. hose when finished.(thanks for the tip!!)
**I assumed that it had the hydraulic lifters after looking around and verifying what block/engine it was, double checked everything and all is good for the valve train still.....suppose I'm lucky for no bent parts, had it been a solid lifter set-up.
**I realize that there is a two barrell carb on this engine....is there any tuning tips you can offer to give us a little better performance?
My father had some backyard mechanic rebuild the carb and put it all back together...it runs, but seeing how many things he over looked...I am interested in double checking his work. I doubt his knowledge or abilities with working on this car.
**On the carb I can see the idle set screw on the drivers side. The electric choke on the drivers side is dis-connected from a previous owner...don't see a need for it anyways. On the passenger side there is a "thingy" that says lean with markings on the top of it....don't know what that is for.
I am familiar with the Edelbrock and Holley carbs and thier differences for adjusting the mixture...but what about this carb?
This thread, so far...
