Thermoquads are great IF you can set it up and tune. I can't!! Someone else as to do that for me!!

Sometimes those Chineesium Carter BBD knockoffs for $75 ain't that bad!!!?? :thumbsup:

I assume a '62 B and A slant pans are no doubt different?? Just wondering

I would go back to AJs post #22 I believe it was and follow thru. Have you ever pulled the gas tank and check for rust/trash/dead bugs and the pick up tube with sock filter? First thing I do with any project. And the line from tank to fuel pump. Metal fuel filters are safer but the plastic...

Did you spray carb cleaner all around the engine while running to see if RPMs increased??

I had about a dozen sb and bb six pac cars decades ago, and I had a few carb fires myself, just didn't burn nothing down.. thankfully!!! Like said NOTHING inexpensive about those six pac setups!!!!! Nothing yesterday and probably less likely today!

My old Mopar buddy that had raced, built motors, you name it....burned down his $400,000 home with what ya got there!!! Wife was not happy. Be careful!

^^There goes the Ca. grammar cops...again!!!! Mom said "buy low and sell high." Then she said better yet "son, move to Ca. where you can learn to read and write like all the smart people"! :poke: :rofl: :thumbsup: :steering::steering::steering::steering::steering::steering:

If a guy has a real 71 340 car that needs this carb, they get expensive. Especially if a 71 Cuda.

Satin black is what I would use.

Get it on engine, and soak it overnite with a bottle or half bottle of Seal Foam. Yea it will smoke bad when started.

I have used both, always the winner is the Carter for me. But any"rebuilt" carb from the parts store is always a GAMBLE!!

Life is an adventure. Driving an old car should be an adventure. Adventure does not mean a carb and set of points/condensor will not get you there just fine!!!!:poke: When I want NO adventure, I take the modern vehicle. OK so the cummins ram is 27 years old now!!:rofl:

We are f*****! Good thing I am old and have a small stash of core carbs! FI my Rebel ***.

Heck I have had tons of Mopars that the gas gauge NEVER worked. I just filed it up every so many days, as they were daily drivers!!!!

And I have been using a darn screwdriver all these decades!??/ Go figure!:poke:

When all six barells are working with the pedal to the floor....it goes Waaaaaaaaaa!!!

^^^ IF I had known of his problem. I would have ordered him a brand spanking new sock for it. This was before cell phones and I doubt he could have afforded one anyway! I still never carry one and usually just tell the wife to dial whatever!! LOL

His problem was the sock was missing in every tank he used!!!! He had no idea or the $ to get a sock or where and how to order such!!! This was back about mid to late 90's/

I sold a Duster to young ish mechanic buddy years ago. I drove it to work 60 mi one way every day before he bought it. No problem with me. The Duster did the same thing to him as the P here talks of, he replaced the gas tank 3 times (WHY!!!!) only to find a a dead bug in the long fuel line (...

Correct carb cores for MW and hemis=some pretty stout $, other wise just another early B carb core.

Dirt daubbers?? They can F*** up anything.

Vent the gas cap too?

Maybe has nothing to do with the float, but run the gas line OVER the valve over and get it away fro exh. man. ? By the way. that is one sexy slant!!!!

I have had to weld an extension to the end of the filler neck on some models!!!!! I just did the 62 Dart other day, with ne rubber tank grommet I bet I pull it out and weld an extension to it after I get it running/driving!!!

Gas tanks are a pain in general!!

Sorry, i was just being a jerk!!

Duh!!!!!!! Come on guys!! We must be running out of topics!! lol

Like said, good gears and convertor, makes all the world difference in seat of the pants feeling power. Yes way easier to bolt on a four barrel and great to hear the other barrels kick in. No doubt, vac. advance will make some difference.

That is the first thing, is what is the health of the engine? If OEM motor made in 75 it is a low compression engine. It can be fun and but it is what it is. Now if a 360 with a 273 intake, the runners don't match, but. Like mentioned, check for vacuum leaks, no doubt that can be a...
