5 quick operation and Maintenance Qs

A torch cleaning file set is cheap. find the closest one that fits and gently polish the inside of the opening. Otherwise a very small pipe cleaner with cleaner, like paint thinner.

I'll set up shipping the fan for tuesday next, I'll be off and can get to the post office while they are actually open. LOL.


Well if you go to the two barrel you will have to "tune" all over again. things like timing (possibly but not always) and idle air screw settings etc... the practice with the single barrel can't hurt. Make sure there is a 61 or 62 jet in the holley (should be able to pick up different jet sizes at o'reilly's auto parts if they have a performance section like they do here), then go from there. If it's the correct jet and clean try going up a size or two and see if it helps cool it down at cruise. It's pretty easy to check and then you will know where you sit as far a possibly running lean due to the carburetor tune. And the gaskets are reusable if they don't stick. I saw somewhere a video where the individual used silicone lube spray to help the gasket release for reuse later. I'd be careful to keep it out of the bowl area though.

The kickdown linkage I don't remember what is different (if anything) but I think it was close enough to use on the two barrel. The bracket bolts onto the manifold from the exhaust side which will have the same bolt pattern. the connection to the carb would be the difference if there is any. Just make sure the throttle lever on the transmission is fully pushed back with the carb at WOT.
