Hey gentlemen I'm in the process of installing a spacer on my Edelbrock carb and am curious as to how tight the longer carb studs should be tightened? Is finger tight okay? Do I need to use any gasketcinch on these studs or on the spacer?

You know what though guys? My 69 Chevy C-10 has an edelbrock carb/intake combo and has never done this. Is there an issue specific with Mopars?

Well it is very disappointing considering every time I seem to get my machine running smooth something comes up to ruin my fun.

You hit my problem exactly!!!!!!!!!!! Is there a solution?

Okay so if it's the floats then I must take the top of the carb off and adjust the floats? As for the heating what's the solution for that?

Okay I have a question regarding this carb. For some reason after running for some time, shutting off, then trying to start up again my car smells a bit like gasoline, and start up is very difficult. Once started my engine runs very rough, almost stalls out, then in time runs smooth again...

Yup I backed them out 1 1/2 turns then basically adjusted until my idle was pretty smooth. As for temp I am purely going by my temp gauge in the car. I was going to come back with better info but my batteries to my laser temp gauge are out. :(

Well gentlemen due to some rough running and idling issues I removed my mixture screws, blew some compressed air through their ports and the needles. I screwed them both in all the way, backed them off about a turn and a half, then proceeded to set my idle. My car is running smooth now but I...

Thank you very much. I'll be doing that tomorrow.

Hey gentlemen my idle speed is a bit high on my 318 and I want to lower it a bit. It's been a LONG time since I've worked on my car and I seemed to have forgotten how to tune my edelbrock. Can anyone assist me?

Who in heck is that on your avatar?

I already have a T-Quad on right now so I should be good on that bracket I assume.

So I most likely will not need this part then? http://store.edelbrock.com/1481chryslerthrottleleveradapter.aspx

How about for the carb? Linkages? Issues?

Okay guys two fine members gave me great deals on an Edelbrock carb and a Performer manifold for my 318. I have never swapped an intake before so any tips would be appreciated. As for the carb I currently have a T-Quad so I was wondering what parts I will need for this swap. :read2:

I notice no one mentioned going the T-Quad route.

Do you prefer the manual choke for control of fuel during warm up? It doesn't get nearly as cold here in Southern California so it makes me think I'll be fine with the manual choke. I'm just wondering if they are tricky or if it's pretty much the mentality that if " I can use one on a tractor...

Hey guys I recently purchased a carb from a fellow FABO member and have a question. Currently it's a manual choke so I'm debating whether to purchase the electric conversion kit. I've used manual chokes on tractors before and they seem simply enough. However, in a daily driven street vehicle...

Thanks for the input guys. It looks like it's split pretty much in between. I ask this question because I may be coming upon some cash soon and want to put some money into my Dart. I have what is supposedly a rebuilt T-Quad on my 318 already but it very cold blooded while running very rich...

What do you guys think and/or use? For smooth daily driving which carb is the better?

Is the Edelbrock AVS Thunder the carb you speak of? I was really thinking about buying one some time ago. This car is going to remain with the stock 1974 318 ignition, mild cam, manifolds, etc..... I'm not interested in shaving .005 off of my quarter mile since this is going to be strictly a...

Well my present one is my third and it's proving to be impossible. So far I haven't met a T-Quad I liked. Either way brand spanking new sounds good.

Right now I have a T-Quad on my 74 Dart with a mild 318. The issue is frustration mostly. It just seems like no matter what I do this carb along with the past T-Quad I had never ran correctly. I'm really thinking of going Edelbrock 600 as you stated. However, could it bolt onto a stock four...

Yes I'm starting to realize that as I gain experience with the T-Quad. I'm beginning to doubt it's capabilities in terms of being a daily driver street carb.

So basically it would be a perfect setup for a mild 318 on a daily driven street car.

Well it looks like it's pretty much split right down the middle. I don't know guys, I am tempted on switching to an Edelbrock 650cfm on my 318 since this supposedly rebuilt T-Quad I bought is giving me all kinds of headaches.

I plan on keeping my car forever and using it as a daily driver. With that said why not go to EFI? On a rarely used strip ride I wouldn't spend the money. However on a daily hell yes!!!!!!!!!!!

I bet that setup would be nice on a mild 360 or even a 318.

Could I use an Edelbrock on a stock manifold which currently has my T-Quad on top?

Hmmmmmmmm I'll check that too because I'm very close to giving up on T-Quads all together and going with a good old Edelbrock. This car is going to be driven A LOT and I want a smooth running engine that's dependable.
