Seriously? I’m stuck with a carb that used a plastic piece to set the idle. My biggest issue with the carb is the plastic as my plastic is so worn my idle screws don’t stay tight to it at all which causes my idle to jump around constantly.

Thanks

I’m on iPhone and I’m not getting their ad. I’m also curious if any of you have similar 2 barrel setups. If not, can I slap a 4 barrel onto it or will I need a new intake?

I have a 71 Newport royal with the original 360 with the original 2 barrel Holley carb. The carb is interesting, albeit bad, as after 52 years the plastic idle setter and throttle control peice has worn so bad that my cars idle is all over the place, and the car can’t really be driven. I need a...

Thank you, finally the answer I had been hoping for

So my interior lights used to dim all the way to off, now they only go halfway before the switch gets stuck. Anyone else experience this?

That’s actually genius

Sentry? What is it and what does it do? I don’t even own one now I’m just curious

Out of hibernation! Starts fine, seems to climb up the revs in park (I’m guessing choke issue what do all of you think) the transmission seems rough but probably because fluid hasn’t been flowing (just filled it) and it has no brake pressure (full of fluid they just haven’t been used in months)...

So the ecu is brand new, the starter relay wasn’t cracked it was on a bad part of the firewall so we moved it. As we eliminate problems we are now down to it’s probably just a bad ground, but where is what we don’t know

It’s got aftermarket electronic ignition. See where it’s cracked right by the arm, well we moved that little box to a more grounded place on the engine. We are tackling the problems slowly one day at a time and hope we are getting closer

Pardon my poor terminology, I am still learning after all and I’m learning that this prolly wasn’t the best car to learn how to wrench on atleast not for the electrics

So inside of the distributor was held down with one screw causing it to rattle around, we got 2 more screws to hold it down in place, because we thought that was why it wasn’t drivinf
