No spark knock or other problems. I’m almost certain the EGR’s got a slight leak though but it doesn’t affect how it runs or idles currently with how the carb is adjusted. I’m not too worried about the amplifier right now, I’ll worry about it when I go to redo the engine bay. I more just wanted...

I figured maybe the plant, it’s raised, not stamped, I’m not really concerned about it means the carb works so far. I figured that about the kicker, luckily the AC doesn’t work right now so it’s not a cause for concern until I get that working hopefully next spring

It says “Elkton” on the base of the carb next to the PCV valve hookup. I unfortunately don’t have a picture of that. I did see the Chrysler part number and Holley list number, that’s where I got the adjustment references from. Do you know of any drawbacks using a Non-AC carb on an AC car?

I currently have the EGR disconnected, and don’t have an emissions diagram. My car didn’t have/come with the head mounted vacuum amplifier and I can’t find a diagram for the slants without them. I do know it has the firewall mounted temp control switch for the EGR, but can’t find vacuum line...

That I didn’t know. I thought it was a knock off/replacement since I didn’t see “Holley” anywhere on it, I figured Elkton was an aftermarket-type brand

Unfortunately no, it came with the car. It’s an Elkton, the pic attached has all the part and list numbers if that helps on your search. I couldn’t find any info on it but it sets up and adjusts to the factory Holley adjustments

Sorry for not responding, not a “fly by poster”, just haven’t had time to try out everyone’s suggestions. Anywho, it’s fixed. Bad carb. Smoked the intake, the throttle linkage, and just about every vacuum port was smoking from the body. Threw on a knock off 1945 and now it runs like a dream

So to answer as many replies as I can in one post, I’ll try to keep it as detailed as I can. I checked the throttle plate both after I rebuilt the carb to ensure nothing was loose and needed replacement, and after adjusting the idle screw to ensure it didnt have too much tip in sag. The...

For a while I’ve been having issues with the engine in my 73 slant 6 Duster. Starting up the car and driving around while it’s still cold, the car drives great. Once the temp gauge reads the first mark on the gauge (130-140ish) the engine starts to bog really bad taking off from a stop. It has...
