    BBD Blues

    I think I'll rebuild a couple of the 2280 Holley carbs myself as I've had only temporary success with most of my own BBD O'hauls (Only one was good for years). As far as the Motorcraft goes.... I'd do it in a heartbeat if this next round of rebuilding does not do the trick. I have heard that...

    BBD Blues

    I'm running a stock 1972 Dodge W200 (318) and am searching for the best long term carb choice for a general use low RPM plow truck. I wind it out on blacktop sometimes, but generally this truck lives under 3500rpm. I'd build a different motor if I wanted to set the world on fire! I...

    Mystery Vacuum leak

    My 1975 318 powered dump truck starts and idles fine, revs up nice but lacks power and backfires thru the carb at mid throttle even in neutral with no load.. Definitely a lean burn problem. Carb works fine on my other truck...have tried with two other complete ignition systems with exact same...

    Leaning out and poor idling when warm

    So anyway...the 'ole 318 workhorse has been ridden hard and put away wet this snowy week! I got right bank intake manifold bolts to tighten a tad and she's much happier. Bought gaskets to do it up right but then I was going to yank the motor in the spring for long over due attention. Thanks for...

    Leaning out and poor idling when warm

    Hi folks. I have had a nagging problem with my generally very reliable 318 powered 1973 W200 Sno-Fighter factory plow truck. Once warmed up, it doesn't like to run much below 1300 rpm or so and will not idle without constant pedal twitching. All this with three different Carters BBD's and now...

    '83 T quad on '73 318

    I run a 1973 W200 and am getting tired of Carter BBD idle problems. Can the T-quad from my '83 D250 be run on the '73 if I swap manifolds too? Got the '83 stocker cast iron and an Offy Dual Port. Stan

    spreadbore choices vs Edelbrock 500

    I think I'll use the Edelbrock 500. I take it I will need the #1481 Dodge cable adaptor.......will I be able to drop the slotted 727 kickdown linkage rod over a long pivot as on my old BBD? Or do I need to switch to a cable kickdown? I see that y'all have dicussed this umpteen times so thanks...

    spreadbore choices vs Edelbrock 500

    Just found an Offy Dual Port Spread-Bore manifold for 273/318 small port heads. Now I need a carb for my mild Rv cammed 318 powered '73 W200. I've got an Edelbrock 500 that I could use with a square bore adaptor.....I'll need to adapt also for my 727 kickdown linkage (Carter BBD originally)...
