Wow, Will, that sucks about the carb! Any chance it can be repaired? Or just order a new one?

I don't know if it can be saved or not. It's a pretty big chunk broken out from under the mixture screw....

I'm probally going to just eventually buy a Holley 1850.... I know how to tune them and everything about a Holley is easy for me.

I can get by on a stock application Q-Jet fine, but once they have real tuning problems, I'm lost at the different metering rods and power piston springs.... Just no experience fooling with that stuff.

Ypu just gave me a thought about a starting issue with mine. It bucks at a hot start.


With EFI, i'd be hard pressed to say uo have too much timing but thats usually it unless that new motors increased compression is just too much for the old starter.

Yea I'll fix it soon enough. It's running and driving OK for her as is and this little stuff is easy to swap out.

Will, if you need a fan clutch, you can have mine for the cost to ship it. Since I just converted to electric fans, it's just taking up space in my garage. I installed it a couple of years ago after my original got noisy, probably has less than 15k on it.


I apprecieate the offer but we will just get a new one. A new one is only like $35-$40.

How do you like the elect fan conversion? What parts did you use?
