I'll just get into my time machine and go back to 1975 and buy a carter bbd from my local Chrysler dealership, and pay in 1975 dollars while I'm there. And bring back a tank full of 1975 gasoline. Always nice to visit fantasy land, isin't it?

I was looking for some pics of small blocks showing the fuel filter, and came across this: https://www.forabodiesonly.com/mopar/threads/honestly-how-good-was-the-318-mpg-durability-hp.548503/#post-1974442336 "... runs a New china *Carter* 2bbl ... " Huh. I'm not the only one eh...

So none of this has anything to do with the 10% ethanol in the gas I'm forced to buy (and increasing now to 11% this year and 13% in 2 years) ??? ============ Yes, it is typical for the Carter W1 carburetors to leak just a little through the throttle shaft after the car is turned off...

So here's the thing. I don't have a problem when the engine is running, under any condition, like idling or stop-and-go for 1/2 hour inching in line at the border under a hot july sun. My fixed 4-blade fan and stock rad seems to keep my 318 cool enough even under those conditions, keeps the...

https://theamcforum.com/forum/fuel-leaking-through-throttle-shaft_topic57936.html A common complaint today is fuel dripping out of the throttle body by the throttle shaft AFTER the engine is switched off. While a number of issues may cause this problem, by far the most common issue is the...

I see some tips here, about fuel getting past the needle valve after engine shut-off and overflowing the bowl, but if this were happening then I'd be flooding constantly during idle. They talk about "today's gas" being easier to boil away (and that was in 2003)...

I've only really had the car running with this carb since July this year after a couple years of r&r (and 20 years of storage before that). I've checked the plugs after long highway runs and they are super white. I've disconnected the vac advance to stop a tick I hear at highway cruise. I run...

The engine is a 318, the carb is a china clone Carter BBD (super-6). I do have the thicker gasket (3/8 or 7/16). I've noticed after a drive and parking the car that after a while I can smell some gas under the hood. A finger rubbed across the bottom of the throttle-shaft return spring comes...

============== The term green bearing comes from the Green Bearing Company which first produced them. Early designs did have issues, as the crimped-on flange would not allow the bearing to wiggle around inside an axle housing that is not perfectly straight (none are). The most recent style has a...

Aren't the specs for our old cars written up for bias tires? Does having radials change anything? Like you probably want more camber and castor than the bias tires could tolerate?

So if this booster isin't recognized by the A-body crowd, maybe it's a B-body booster? Or a C-body booster post-1973? Never mind - it's been ID'd as a 1969 - 1970 only C-body booster, no idea who the OEM was.

If it was a '73 or newer, would it be a dual-diaphram unit, or otherwise a booster for a disk/drum car?

This is not a Bendix, nor Kelsey Hayes, nor Midland Ross. At least not for a '65 - '68 vintage car as far as I know. Even if you don't know the maker of this booster, do you know what year range, make or model it would have been for?

Yesterday - 100 mile highway drive from A to B. Tick is moderately loud at cruise when pedal is held constant, speed is constant (55 to 65 mph). Any slight movement of the pedal down or up and tick instantly goes away. This pedal movement will also instantly change manifold vacuum by a few...
