Dah... I never even thought of that! I'll look into it.
I just didn't like it not being filtered, but I decided instead to vent it to the atmosphere with a small engine fuel filter (it's just a screen). That works well.
Haha. Sorry. I mean "power valve" or "enrichment valve".
I actually totally disagree with you on that. I think the guy knew quite well what he was doing, he was just working with what he had. (I picture a guy working at a junk yard piecing the thing together.) The car was REALLY quick with the 'original Motorcraft carburetor', but didn't idle at all. The car was basically set up to do street drags. I probably should timed it before pulling off that 'original' carb. It's not as quick anymore.
