Question about buying Carter BBD for my 318 (unless I should look at something else)
Sure glad I bolted on the Edelbrock 1406 and 2 to 4 bbl adapter to my completely stock '69 318 Satellite.
Dummped the gas leaking, poor idle, poor performance stock 2 bbl BBD.
The previous owner even had a fire extinguisher in the back seat as they were expecting a fire with that leaking stock carb.
Took the car for a test drive with the lady owner driving and it killed at every stop sign.
You can lead a horse to water but you can't make them drink.
All the facts here on this post, but when you don't know, you don't know.
Good luck learning.
By the way i have a good running high top BBD and it is the least desirable carb of all the 2 bbl carbs I have tested on the run stand. It runs and idles good but that's about it, all the other carbs out perform it by a lot.
New OEM 2 bbl Stromberg ^^^.
That is the fun, experimenting and see what works best.
