Re: Rob & Stu's 63 Polara 500
Thanks Pete. I found a version of that gizmo for sale on Amazon, says the brand is Edelbrock, but I don't think they're the manufacturer :roll: www.amazon.co.uk/Uni-Syn-Carburettor-Balancing-Instrument-2BBL/dp/B00062YC2E Looks like Marc did a nice job on the part it's mounted to - is it spun? I hadn...

Re: Rob & Stu's 63 Polara 500
I meant to add, another indication that we still had a vacuum leak was, using the vacuum gauge, we could still only get around 5 inches at 900-1000 rpm idle. The data sheet we have for these carbs on this engine say they should have 19.5 inches at idle (idle being 900 rpm). Sounds optimistic :shock:...

Re: Rob & Stu's 63 Polara 500
It’s a good step forward, though! They look fantastic and sounds like they have made a real difference, despite the fresh issue. Thanks Stu, spot on. At least now we know the carbs are ok, it made it easier to find the other issue. And curing the starting issues (if indeed it has done), has been an...

Re: Rob & Stu's 63 Polara 500
Then today, with the help again from MMA-mate Ian, we got them fitted with new fuel lines and spent a bit of time (understatement) setting the idle mixtures and getting them balanced. 20240516_195700.jpg 20240518_182339.jpg 20240518_182405.jpg 20240518_182448.jpg 20240518_182504.jpg Then on the 2nd ...

Re: Rob & Stu's 63 Polara 500
So... a couple of months back we got to the point where we realised our original (to the engine) carbs really could do with a proper rebuild. They were supposedly rebuilt 20 years ago just before we bought the car but judging by how the rest of the engine was thrown together, they probably just had ...
