I will get some vacuum caps this week and cap the two open lines. Thanks for all the comments. Richard

Do you mean cap it? Maybe you can send me a pic of you carb showing the fix?? I am not a carb guy and sometimes people disconnect things without known the consequences. This is the way my (Chry mechanic ) mechanic did it. Let me know your commend preferably with a pic. I do best when I can see...

More pics of carb, rsh66vip

I posted this question yesterday, but now I do not see the post anywhere , so I will re-post it. I posted a picture of the two idle screws and asked for advice on making adjustments. I was asked to post pics of both sides of the carb. One thing happened when I lifted up the air cleaner to get...

I will later this week. thanks

Do I turn the screw counter clock wise to reduce my idle RPMs? thanks 1966 plymouth VIP......Richard

My wife and I will visit our daughter in San Luis Obis Sept. 13 to 16. If there are a couple of fellow forum guys that would like to share their car or car project, please pm me. I would enjoy taking a look. thanks rsh1966 vip

Thanks for the comments. I did the by pass as recommended. I will need to think more about pulling the box out. rsh

Walked into the shop and found a puddle under the 66. Long story short, I found a leak coming from the bottom of the heater box. It is a good thing that I have all the carpet already stripped out. So, I have a couple of questions: 1. How do I bypass the heater by re-routing the heater hoses...

excellent comments and I will follow up. thanks rsh

My 66 Plymouth VIP 283 was replaced by the previous owner with a 400. It is probably 1970-72?? but that not the point of the post. The point is this engine runs hot and I have had every thing replaced new. It has a 26 " new orginaial radiator etc. However it runs abut 200 degrees after about 10...
