    The carb is the original 2 bbl for the super six........It does not appear to have been rebuilt...........problem is that this is an every day driver, and we can't wait for a rebuild.....we'll need to buy one already done from somewhere. The cat is still on the car, but is short...

    Unhook SMOG CRAP???? HELP

    OK......... We found the vacuum advance hooked up to a little gizmo marked "VAC"..it was filthy, and just dangling, with 2 vacuum hookups, and only one used.....the other was wide open. We eliminated it, and ran the advance directly from the carb to the distributor. The temperature sensor...

    Super Six vs. Standard Six.......

    Not a swap actually........My buddy's 78 Volare Wagon (sweet original shape) has the super six.......Lots of pep........I'm wondering what else we might do to the six to make it better all around, without sacrificing mileage.......Maybe a header and a better air cleaner assembly? :mrgreen:

    Super Six vs. Standard Six.......

    Guys, what are the actual differences between a "super six" and the standard models? It's a 78, so it doesn't seem like it could be much, but it's a 2 bbl...that I know......... Any other mods they made on the super? :glasses7:

    78 Volare Slant-6 Temp. Gauge...Sender??

    On a 78 Volare with a slant six, where exactly is the water temperature sender?............The gauge isn't working, and I would assume to check the sender first..........AND, I'm not familiar with the gadget mounted on the radiator that looks a bit like an A/C pressure switch, with a couple of...
