"Baselining" my 225
Then I started on swapping in the Carter BBS carb that @slantsixdan was kind enough to educate me on (and provide a link to). This one kicked my butt for a minute, because the P.O. had the throttle linkage WAY out of adjustment to make the 1982 carb fit. It took me a while to figure this out, being new to the cars.
I'm still running a manual choke at the moment, but the Carter is way, way better and the pedal feel is MILES better than before.
I also installed the missing PCV valve and got the correct air cleaner (though it does have the Dodge decal and I have a Plymouth, but we won't tell anyone...shhh!
I still need to adjust the kickdown linkage at the transmission end, but I have to take it to a shop for that, as I can access it in my garage.
