What do you think the truck is worth?
Let me know what you think... I am trading my 1931 Ford Sedan for the 1957 Chevy 3100 truck, $1000 and I get to keep my Offy intake, all carbs and...
Love it!
Instead of adding both sec carbs at once, can I just add on and see how it responds. Get that one responding good then add the 2nd sec carb? Or do...
I don't know the spec on the jets. How is the best way to find out?
FOUND IT!! Test on the interstate was flawless. No hesitation, no spitting, perfect throttle response! Got to the off ramp light and the engine...
So I made plates and covered the outside carb ports. Engine runs better. I am going to highway drive in the morning. If it's gonna run bad, this...
You guys are awesome! I'm going to make block off plates for the outside carbs right now and start from there. Yesterday I changed the plugs to AC...
Yes.. It appears that the outside carbs were at on time primary carbs[ATTACH]
I don't know if it is a "real"secondary carb. I didn't build the set up. How can I tell?
Not using air filter. I have steel screens placed in the stacks.
Don't know he ws-40 or propane trick....?
I don't have a problem with idle... Problem is missing and sputtering sometimes under acceleration and fixed throttle on interstate. Opening all...
Agree! What about hotter plugs?
Do you recommend anything?
Covered outside carbs...Absolutely no change in RPM. Should I try hotter plugs? Currently using AC R44T. Should I try AC R45T or R45TS to get the...
What is the best way to see if the sec carb blades have a gap?
Based the engine specs above, what do you recommend?
No holes in butterflies but 1 hole in the bore above each butterfly
So it was better for longer but back to hesitating.... Fuel psi is almost 3 at idle. It almost feels like it is starving for fuel. But when I put...
I bought the set up from an old timer that builds them. Got it at a swap meet. So I really don't know what mods have been done. I just added a...
I just installed a fuel pressure gauge. Reason at 6.5 psi
Just built my 31 Ford and put 230 miles on it last weekend with no missing / hesitation issues. Got in Tuesday morning to go to work and had lots...
Yep that's the same mechanical pump I am using. Thanks man
So no return at all...Not even off of the fuel pump? I have no return out of my mechanical pump? Do you have a return off your pump?
Great advice, thanks! Both outside carbs are dumpers. I am running a Pertronix electronic distributor w/ mechanical advance. Do you have an...
Don't think so...I am using the original valve covers that have the oil fill cap breather hole in one of them and a breather hole in the other. I...
Just so I understand... If my mechanical fuel pump is 8-10 psi and I use a pressure reg after the pump, won't the pressure be so great that it...
Great thanks guys! Ok... So next is vacuum. I currently have the primary carb vacuum plugged. Do I need to run a line to it from the intake?
Thanks for the advice! I have a Holley 12-804 fuel pressure regulator. It has 1 in port and 2 out ports...Can I run one of the out ports to the...
