72 duster Build progress

and a couple small updates....

I have had WAY to many carburetors on the engine in my duster!.

first it started with the eddy 1406 that I built for the car originally....then I swapped the carb from my duster onto a truck I had and sold the truck.

then I put the 500cfm holley on the duster just so I could move it around until I could get another carb.

then I ordered a new summit racing carb and it turned out to be junk and the choke wouldnt work on it so I exchanged it for another one that turned out to be junk aswell because it was leaking fuel from the body of the carb.....so then I got a refund for it about 3 months ago.

from the refunded money i bought a new 1406 eddy ......and the duster seemed to bogg out around 4k when reving in park and when I would try to do a burn out it would bog out at around 2k....also the passenger side A/F mixture screw made no difference in idle....I could back the screw all the way out or run it all the way in and with no change.

so finally I took it in last week and after an hour and a half of standing in the store arguing with the employee that screwed up and returned the carb (which resulted in the money going back to my debit card with a 3 day hold......rather than exchanging for another carb like I requested) I got it straightened out and had them get in contact with someone that knew what they were doing and put a stop to the refund so I could have it exchanged.

annnyyyyyways........

finally a couple days ago I put the new carb on and THIS TIME things seems to be good....it revs up good, both mixture screws work.....have to wait to do the burnout test because I have the duster on jack stands right now lol.

I guess from what the guys at the parts store said....they have had ALOT of returns on the edelbrock carbs......bad string of carbs from a certain manufacturer ( I think the webber manufactured ones ).

ALSO......I bought a go wing rear spoiler from a fabo member!!!

however.....I am still waiting for it to arrive and I have not heard from the member I purchased it from. so hopefully everything with that works out.

I will keep you all up to date as I make progress.

Thanks
