Grandma's 73 Gold Duster

I would be willing to take that old ugly beat up front grill off your hands... heck I will even pay ya for it. :P .... er.... ah... yeah...

Looks like a great car to start with ! Have fun doing it.... take your time and do things properly. Lots of great advice can be found on this site. I am pretty partial to the Duster breed and have lots of extensive knowledge on do's and dont's with them during a rebuilding process. If ya have a question feel free to send me a note. Also I dabble a tad in used A body parts...... ok ok ... a lot in used parts.... specifically Duster stuff. Just FYI.

Have fun on the site and the project !

Sorry, that grille's not for sale!! :) I do have a filler neck if anyone needs it- I bought it not realizing that a space duster took a special one.

Well, here we go! So the carb was acting weird. Wouldn't allow the car to start. As long as I dumped some gas in it prior to starting it, it would start and run just fine. SO, I bought a carb rebuild kit and rebuilt it. I got everything cleaned up real nicely and put it all back together and... I still have the same problem. It's like when you first pump the accelerator to start it, it's not squirting any fuel into it. Once again, if I dump gas in it to start it, it will start and run smooth no problem, even driving down the road. Any ideas on what that might be? I'm at a loss. Any help from anyone would be appreciated! Misty

PS it's a Holley model 1920 1bbl
