I've become a huge fan of slantsix.org in the last couple of weeks! Great info there.

I have a Holley 1920 carb. I am having trouble getting my engine to idle correctly. I have heard that I may need to adjust the float setting on my carb. How is that done? Thanks! Thomas

Thanks for all the input. I would eventually like to rebuild the engine, but since it runs for now, I think that will be the last thing I do; it needs new suspension, and desperately needs to be rid of rust. I want to rebuild it for a couple of reasons; I want the experience and satisfaction...

Can some one tell me the advantages (in terms of power and performance) of boring out a 225 and installing a 4-barrel carb and headers? If I did that, would I also need to upgrade my transmission? Thanks! Thomas

How did you find out it was a crack?

Well I read your thread-link, and it doesn't sound so bad. It would be nice to see pictures or a video of what they are talking about, though. I'll check Youtube. But if some one here has some pictures....

I replaced the distributor. The old one had a lot of side-to-side wiggle, and the cam was worn pretty well. Only $42 at Schucks. I've never adjusted valves before, so I'm not going to ask for instructions. I'll have to find some one I know to show me sometime.

Yeah, I wondered about that. There's no nipple on my oil cap. But the filter material in it is oil-soaked. Does that mean either the air cleaner housing or the oil cap have been replaced from another model /6? Should I be concerned enough about that to restore it, if so?

What's the best way to clean out that oil breather cap? It is filthy.

So, I'm having a lot of trouble getting my 225 /6 to run properly. Here are the symptoms: Only stays running in park or neutral when idle speed is cranked up, or when engine is cold and choke is closed. Does not run smoothly, misses unevenly. Dies when put into gear (automatic), so I have to...
