    Fuel pump blues (i give up).

    you want you regulator as close to the carb as possible, other than that I'm not sure why the pumps drop the way they do, I had one in another duster a few years ago, and it was rock solid, good luck, I'm sure someone that know's more than I do will chime in.

    Plymouth Fuel gauge questions.

    I can send a picture by my cell phone, if your phone can show pics, the cluster needs the black part touched up as it has a scratch or two, but other than that, it worked good when I pulled it, and it's been sitting on the shelf for a few years now, pm me your cell phone number if it will accept...

    How To Beat the Siphoners

    I had a clown try to steal my gas once, about 3 in the morning, I hear what sounds like someone raking leaves, look out the window, there's one in my side yard raking, and one with a hose in my charger, I grab the gun, slide out the back door, thank the one raking, and show him the back way off...

    Holly or Thermoquad

    I like to hear "what thell is that thing?" when I open the hood. LOL Yep, the ford and chevy boys talk about my carb all the time, they can't see how something that big can work on a small block, I just pat them on the back and say Mopar boys Mopar.

    Not Passing Smog Need Help Please!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    you would think,( or I would any way) that it would only have to meet the standards of the year of the car, ie. the old diesels are exempt from the new standards, so if they want to smog check a 1909 model it shouldn't have to meet 2010 standards, as if it could any way. just my 2 cents.

    idle mix screws, base setting?

    well it seems to like a hair over 3 turns, idles 800 rpm, and holds a steady 9 on the vacuum gauge, I don't know the cam size, but I know it has a lot of over lap, now what can I do about the fumes? I'm talking burn your eyes and make you cry fumes, before I got the carb set, I couldn't get it...

    idle mix screws, base setting?

    on a thermoquad, it's been 20 years since I had to adjust one, and I can't remember how many turns to set the base mixture, and the fsm doesn't say or I'm over looking it, thanks in advance. Mark
