Well I have been looking around and it seems the jeep guys use a lot of these progressive webers on older jeeps with a 258 6 cylinder. Redline...
Ohh forgot to ask, anyone have a good idea of starting jets to put in a weber progressive carb for a 230 flathead?
Got a bit done today, after having to miss out yesterday as it rained all day. The carb is on and running with a new air filter setup. Ran a...
Yup, took the distributor down, the advance plate was pretty gummed up, so were the centrifugal weights. Cleaned it all out, lubed the weight...
Heh, I was an offender as well, 67 Cougar for me..
Well I installed the weber, set it the best I could and started working through standard tuning stuff. I think I found my biggest issue. Bad...
Texas is well armed, and it's legal to shoot someone on your property stealing your stuff, or even to shoot someone stealing your neighbors stuff.

Well the fuel pump was gone, put an electric one on yesterday and she fired right up. Ran better than it did before, significantly better, so it...
The whole underbody and frame of my old military truck was coated in old asphalt undercoating.. I used a needle gun to knock it off. Like you...

I've been looking at those 2 barrel progressive carbs, Weber DGV/Holley 5200. They are made for a 2.3 liter engine, would one seem a bit small...
Yup, I already replaced the gears in the diffs from 5:83:1 to a set of 4:89:1 for that reason. I'm going to be looking to swap the trans to a...
Yeah the VPW guys are great. I don't know what manual to use though. I don't think the carb is original from the car the engine came from. I have...
Thanks, I'll give them a call. I figure if I get a new carb on the thing, get it a good tune up, it'll probably do me for a while. If I can get...
