Thank you.
Today I just rebuilt the edelbrock carb. This was a first for me. Did plenty of holleys and a couple rochesters before. It wasn't bad. Only had to take it back apart once because I realized there was a new rubber piston part and spring in the kit that I hadn't used.
The float bowls were a little gunky.
There was some corrosion on the venturis...
Got all the bits and pieces cleaned up, hmmm, not what? It's easy pulling stuff apart right? Don't you just love instructions that say "reassemble in reverse order as the disassembly"? "Except for the following notes..." of course.
No problems though.
Way easier than a rochester.
Anyway, I got it installed, got it running, set the idle and thats about it. Ran out of time. It already idles better, which was the main problem before. I think I have a miss, probably my crappy re-used plug wires. I think I have most of a new set sitting on the floor. So maybe do that soon and see if I can get her running nice smooth and strong, while I keep working on lights and windows and bumpers. I need to do some sandblasting. I need another weeks vacation is what I really need.
