I looked it up, and Rmchrgr and Slantsixdan are correct; the 80 was the last year for mech valves, 81 the first for hydraulics. Apologies, I mis-remembered, and should have checked. And Slansixdan, thanks for your better expmanation of the variance in throttle set-ups. Renato, you will have...

Hi Renato, Sorry for the delay in replying to your question to me on the Holley vs. Carter. The answer is, just my experience and opinion. I'm no mechanical or hydraulic engineer. The Holleys seemed to deteriorate more with age, soaking in carb cleaner, wear, and rebuilds. After re-reading the...

As all the others have said, there's lotsa possibilities. The smooth-when-cold and rough-when-hot scenario w/poor mileage sure seems to suggest a too-rich mixture. As loose as the engine is, you may bever get 20+ mpg until you do an engine overhaul. Bad rings won't generally cause rough running...

A narrow A Body that vintage in decent mechanical condition and an auto tranny in normal driving should get 14-16 city and 16-18 hwy mpg easily. My 66 Dart w/a tired 225 and 3 spd manual gets 21 on the hwy if I drive easy. If the fuel pump isn't leaking into the crankcase (already mentioned)...

These stock carb setups are pretty simple, but you can mess 'em up, or they can get out of whack. Not many shops know what they are doing on the old stuff. The choke unloader needs to be adjusted correctly, along with the choke linkage/gap. If you have an old choke, consider tracking down a...

Yes, a good cleaning, and a new accelerator pump will come with the rebuild kit. Should only have an inline filter up at the carb, unless something has been added. When you take off the filter, keep it horizontal and dump the gas in it into a clean can or cup. If it is clean, ok, but look for...
