    (1971) Thermoquad rebuild question?

    It was a fix to help A/C equipped cars idle better when heat built up under hood. Plug it if you can. If it doesn't work perfectly, it'll mess up the mixture. I saw an article or video Steve Dulcich in which he disabled one. I'm not sure where, but if you look you may find it.

    which small block a body aluminum intake?

    Check out the Weiand Stealth. This is available new. There are measurements at this site. Weiand 8022WND Weiand Stealth™ Intake - Chrysler Small Block V8 Mopar Performance sold what was pretty much an aluminum version of the stock iron intake. So plenty of clearance. They've been out of...

    What will cause my float bowls to go dry

    I'm sure the ease of the process depends on the carb itself. My AVS is an emissions carb, and has a vent valve. Just push on the linkage and put in the funnel. Vent tubes on Holleys could be the fill point. The last time I ran a Holley it was on my daily driver and you could still get leaded...

    What will cause my float bowls to go dry

    I fill my float bowl manually. Once it becomes a routine, it can be done pretty quickly. Because someone was saying how they would dread doing it, I timed myself. 1.5 minutes from opening the hood to engine running with the air cleaner back on. Starts at the turn of the key, no long...

    Carb Heat Soak

    It depends where you live. Filling stations selling E-0 are all around me here on the southern shore of Lake Ontario. There are more now than anytime in the last 15+ years, with more stations taking it on all the time. Many have dedicated systems with separate tanks, plumbing, pumps and...

    Carb Heat Soak

    If it's too big it can. I've read about folks putting restrictors in the return line to keep the pressure from falling too much.

    Carb Heat Soak

    Same here, E-0 gas in 90 octane only for the last five years. No pinging, just percolating. If it's been more than a couple days since driving it, I fill the float bowl in the AVS through the vent with a little funnel. That way it fires right off instead of cranking it for 20 seconds until the...

    Carb Heat Soak

    In 50 years I never had it happen until last summer. Hot day, AC on, when I shut the engine off it sounded like popcorn popping under the hood. Lousy gas is certainly a contributor. A Edelbrock insulator gasket was available at the local AutoZone. That seems to have quick fixed it, but a...

    Is anyone running a 4425S Carter on a 68 340 engine?

    The 4636S on my '68 automatic car has only the one screw. According to manuals it is the correct carb for the car.

    Is there a mat or cushion between the fuel tank and body?

    I heard that the mat that was in some cars had a high asbestos content, and that's why accurate reproductions can't be had. Pity the poor guy who loses sleep over that.

    Carter AVS questions

    I understand the A suffix at the end of the model number means it has been updated somewhat from the 4611. The next update would be 4611B.

    TQ replacement

    Not in about 30 years. The old Rochester Products carburetor plant, about ten miles from here, is now called GM Component Holdings, and they make fuel injectors and rails, for now. They celebrate their heritage with a big banner on the outside of the building with pictures of their glory days...

    Choke spring

    I think you want a choke thermostat. There are a few vendors that sell parts for the old Carters. Google can help you.

    fuel tank

    I have an old electric fuel pump. I don't remember exactly where it came from. Plumb in where easiest. Sometimes at the tank. Sometimes by the pump on the engine. Using a remote start switch as a dead man switch, wire to the battery however is easiest. I know jumper cables were part of...
