Yours looks like a later car so I'm not entirely familiar with how you actually adjust this (I think it has something to do with under the firewall), but on my 68 Newport, the kickdown rod is threaded and you can adjust the slotted rod itself using that. And CBODY67 taught me that when your...

From what I read with the air cleaner stud, it's good practice to cut off the excess once you install it on the carb and measure it with the air cleaner and wing nut on. I think that was on the official manufacture's site when I had got mine for my new 2BBL carb. Although in my case I don't...

I'm assuming it's alright to bump old threads if you're the OP behind them, but an update: Today I decided that I should finally just tackle this head on, bolted off the carb, and took it apart. My hypothesis for the while was the accelerator pump was rotted and bad (I don't even think this...

The best way I can describe it is when it gets to around the 35-40 range (or around 1200rpm range as you said), the engine cuts out completely, and then maybe 3-4 seconds later kicks in hard (I've made the tires chirp 2 times by being a little too hard on it when it happens). Which makes me...

That seems to be a possible cause, but I'm trying to figure out what you mean by surfacing the top plate of the carb. Do you mean taking the top plate off, sanding it down, and reassembling it, literally using a sheet of glass and/or sandpaper as a gasket, or something else entirely? Never...

68 Newport 4Door Sedan guy here. One of the first major things I plan to do with my car is to rebuild the engine, both as a safety measure to prevent it blowing out on me, but also because it needs work anyways. The engine generally runs fine, I could post a video of a cold start tomorrow, but...
