Sold!

Bump Updated, lower price.

Hi all, Sold my '68 Fastback, I no longer need the car cover I had for it. This is a Cal Car Cover NOAH cover. It is really a great cover, great to keep out dust and moisture. However, I only used it indoors, never outside. It has a little padding but is NOT bulky (IMO). It has the antenna...

No, :pale: I need to get a testor...

I have a question (feels like I am derailing [back] my own thread... :D ) Are Holley jets pretty much all the same? I may be more interested (if I have to go into the carb, anyway) to just swap the jets for something a little larger to get a slightly richer/phatter mixture rather than drilling...

Thanks for the confirmation.

I have to check but I don't remember if this Prestolite 3438225 dizzy is a dual-point...? What is(are) the model number(s) for a "standard Chrysler distributor" I can look for so I can test to determine if the mechanical advance is happening too soon/too much?

Hi, As noted, car pings with vacuum advance disconnected/plugged. =(

Thank you!

OK! How can I determine this? Also, if it was too rich, what is the proper antifreeze mixture/ratio? And how do I determine what temp thermostat I have? I guess I have to pull it out? Thanks!

Something else to try. OK. Assuming I will have to replace the gaskets after opening up the carb to get to the floats, do I have to buy a rebuild kit just for the gaskets? Or are those specific gaskets available (Holley 2280)?

I can tell you that there was a SIGNIFICANT reduction in the amount of pinging when I did that. However, I also changed brands of gasoline at that time (Unocal) so maybe it was the brand of gas that did it more than the octane... Do I have to pull the valve covers off to determine if I have...

Yes, this is what I figured, too. Curious: Is the jet "soft" enough to allow "drilling by hand"?

Thanks for this, that's what I thought as well. Do you think blocking where the exhaust comes into the intake manifold to keep it from getting into heat xover would help? I want to wait on this a little bit for now. See below. I think this may be the direction for me to go right now. Seems...
