Re: Carburettor advice

Re: Carburettor advice
Personal taste but I would go dual line every time - I know it is more work and hassle. I don't like the Transfer pipes between bowls. I would always go for a carb with dual metering blocks as well, I don't care for the metering plates. I like 4 corner idle as well but not essential. Have you check...

Re: Carburettor advice
Have a look at Quick fuel's version of the Holley carb. I bought one of their 650 double pumpers for my 360 and it ran perfectly out of the box with just the usual setting up. It's a lot of carb for the money. https://www.holley.com/products/fuel_systems/carburetors/street_strip/parts/Q-650 Thanks ...

Re: Carburettor advice
So I’m looking at these, I’m not budget conscious on this, but it does seem to fit the bill almost perfectly for what I want. Il also be buying an electric to Manual choke conversion kit, as I don’t want an electric choke. Single fuel feed, vacuum secondary and I will double check if fits my intake ...

Re: Carburettor advice
another thing to check, is your inlet manifold a square bore or spread bore type? holley from memory do both types in a 650 vacuum secondary. getting the right one for the inlet will mean no need for an adapter plate which is better. neil. Thanks for the top tip mate, again saving me future aggro a...

Carburettor advice
Hey guys… I hope I’m not being a pest, or cluttering these forums with my issues but I thought I’d start a whole new thread for this as it’s a little more specific in my build, and something I’m Struggling with a little.. I’m looking at carbs, and being completely new to them am a bit overwhelmed wi...

Re: Restoration thread 1969 St Albans charger
Another Holley fan here, simple carbs that you can get parts for anywhere. I prefer double pumpers, completely mechanical in operation and the maximum of tuning options for sharp throttle response. To learn how to set up timing and Holley carbs, this is very useful https://4secondsflat.com/products...

Re: Restoration thread 1969 St Albans charger
My personal advice is not to cut corners on carburation, especially with an old one. It will have you chasing your tail for faults, and those carbs (whilst simple in construction) are not easy to diagnose and tune. All the internal channels will be furred up and corroded and will not function as de...

Re: Restoration thread 1969 St Albans charger
I was planning on doing some engine upgrades during body and paint part of the resto. I was planning on pulling the engine and taking care of any tuning and upgrade plans when I pulled the engine for paint which I’m hoping to get to by April next year. I just want to get it running so I can move it ...

[quote=MattH post_id=652425 time=<a href="tel:1637312156">1637312156</a> user_id=69] The backfire is unlikely to just be one plug, much more the carb and timing. If it sat for many years the carb could have all sorts of gummed up bits inside. Thank you Matt, il get her off and cleaned up ...
