Thanks for the pics Steve!!! I’ll have to think about this!!!

That’s very cool. I have a Great Northern RR coffee mug, from a visit to a lodge in Montana. Does the truck have axles with the narrow width wheel track so it can ride the rails? PS My cousin worked on the RR in Montana as a supervisor maintaining track in the 80’s. He loved to buy old...

That’s a cool looking - pickup? - got a better shot of it?

Yes. More often than not when I venture into parts unknown like a carb rebuild, Mr. Murphy is my companion and I find a way to mess up. I’m learning when to stop and not go forth where angels fear to tread. All the little bits and pieces came together on this activity however. I am trying to...

What is the cfm rating on the Holley? I am curious. I’ve looked online, I see numbers ranging from 350-500 cfm.

Hey Steve - do you happen to have a graphic of that bridge kit? I just wonder if I could fabricate something, if need be.

Thanks for the info!

What model Carter is that and is it a straight bolt on? Availability?

Why do you say it is unsafe? Fire hazard?

Well so far it’s still working. I may get to a point where I crack open the other carb, but I haven’t yet.

Steve I should send this to you and you can do an autopsy with photos for record! I actually thought about taking it apart and using a light coat of blue printers ink and setting it on top of a piece of glass to see if you could see the surface warpage looking up on the glass.

Holley 2210 2bbl Once warm it would only run at high rpm. If at a stop light I had to put the car in neutral and Rev engine. Once at highway speed it had a rough miss, you could hear and feel it.

Just wanted to post about a stall out problem I’d been having on a 73 Monaco 400 v8 2bbl (rebuilt from Autoline). Car would start fine and run for about 5 minutes, but as soon as it was warmed up, it would stall out. I swapped out the carb with a $50 eBay replacement carb today, and amazingly...

The setup on his/your car doesn’t look factory original. Is it possible it was originally a 2bbl? Is that a 2bbl linkage on a four barrel carb (forgive me if someone already resolved this question, I don’t know the difference by looking). Was the hard shift problem a recently occurring issue...

This is good information on things to check with hard shifting or leaks. Thanks for sharing it. I hope it prevents having to buy a new or rebuilt trans. overseas. That sounds like a huge hassle! I know of a shop here in Winston-Salem that will give a 36 month warranty for a rebuild…but...

You can also run 5/16 ID rubber fuel hose between broken sections of line, of course, as a low budget temporary fix, provided the break is 'clean' and you don't have a bunch of dirt inside the line.

I am currently using weed eater line to ID where a blockage is in my fuel line. It is surprisingly rigid when pushed in small tubing, and can even go through hard bends. It's a good trick for sunroof drain tubes, too. Just some FYI.
