    Question about high speed air bleed on Holley 1945

    This is (I believe) the high speed air bleed. It has 3 little holes about halfway up. Interestingly, it has a hole at the bottom but it has been plugged by a a small amount of solder. Does anyone know what the benefit is to that either remaining plugged or not plugged? I know it's an odd...

    Fast idle screw replacement?

    Inexplicably, my fast idle adjustment screw is missing for my Holley 1945. I have looked but been unable to find somewhere on line to purchase one.

    Ammeter and battery

    1975 Dart Swinger /6. It sat for a few days and then when I started it up today the ammeter was all the way to the right (+40) not pegged but pretty far over. It stays that way during normal driving. However, at stop signs and in reverse it moves back to zero. There's nothing erratic about the...

    Rear window rust problem

    So I took my Swinger in to have a new gasket put in around my rear window because it was apparent that it was leaking on to the package tray area for years.

    Radio issues

    I recently purchased a stock AM radio for my 75 Dart. Installed and it works fine except that when I accelerate the signal gets louder. Idle and especially reverse, the sound level drops.
