Simple yet effective PCV

Some time back I was driving along down around Phoenix and my car started missing. I looked at the AFR gauge and it read 19:1 or some such nonsense. (Way lean) Ok, failing fuel pump so I stopped and picked up another pump in case I had to swap it out somewhere less convenient, but it ran fine on...

I found out it’s a bad idea to drop your non screw in air bleed for your Holley in the gravel driveway.:D I was doing some fine tuning on the high speed air bleeds and one shot out of the hemostats and disappeared in the 3/4 inch boulders. I thought it landed in a 3x3 foot area somewhere, but I...

Something a lot of people apparently don’t know, or never considered. Holley style carburetors use two float bowls, one primary that the engine runs on normally and the other is for the secondary circuit. Let’s say you do a lot of in town low speed driving. That fuel in the secondary bowl sits...

On fairly regular basis I see people post about their car not wanting to fire up after sitting for a day, or days. “I think my fuel is draining back out of the carb” ends up being mentioned. This is not physically possible with the average carbs we run. The fuel would literally have to jump up...

First two guesses don’t count. Neighbor brings home another car and tries to get it running, but no fuel to the carb. First thing I tell him is to check the entire fuel line from the tank forward including any/all filters. (The one in the carb inlet included) because it’s a Qjet. Then suspect...

A guy I know bought a Mopar in Las Vegas and drove it the 4 hours back home with this carburetor. He said the idle was rough. @j par How do I set the T slot on this?:lol: I have already swapped everything over to a new body, so now it's a spare Edelbrock 750 electric choke.

This is the kind of stuff I do when I get bored.:D As you can see there is an addition to my throttle linkages. The idea was/is that when it's not cold enough for the choke to set the high idle cam on the carb the engine idles too low until it gets warmed up. This in cabin controller allows me...

I swapped out my main jets (#72) for a pair of 68's Then put the 72's in place of the 75 secondaries. Everything looks, feels and runs great except for one thing. The transition slots are a couple of numbers rich. I say this because idle AFR is perfect, but as soon as I start into the throttle...

Or at least someone who knows Holley's better than I do when it comes to jet changes. Yesterday I swapped my Edelbrock 1406 out for a Holley Avenger 770 with vacuum secondaries and my air fuel ratio is a ways off. Any guesses as to how many jet sizes I need to drop if my A/F ratio is in the...

This is the part that will do what I want as discussed in this thread. To separate the idle cam from the choke Took me a couple of hours to build it and one 180 degree turn of the knob gives me about .030 of cable travel (should be about perfect) and will mount under the dash on the passenger...

At some point I would like to separate the idle cam on my carb from the choke and have an adjustable idle setting that doesn't involve the choke plate. The reason being that in weather that is on the warmer side I can start my car and adjust the idle for the engine to warm up without the choke...

Avenger 770 CFM Everything in it is new, but the way they put it back together caused the high idle not to work when the choke was on, but it's fixed now. Dual inlets, vacuum secondaries electric choke, single pump. I rarely buy much of anything at swap meets, but for 100 bucks I couldn't pass...

A buddy gave me an Edelbrock 750 Electric choke (just what I was looking for to replace the 600 I have now) Looks like it might have had an idle mixture/transition issue.:D You can see it was run like this.

Currently chasing the sudden appearance of an annoying whistle from my Edelbrock carb. I had the insulating spacer between the carb and manifold and took the carb off to do some rejetting and out of nowhere I have a whistle at idle and just off idle to about 1,200 RPM's. I thought, ok fine I...

Outside of electrical supply and ground issue's, this is the main cause of fuel sending unit failures. You can see the wire wrapped around an insulated curved piece where a contact connected to the float arm slides causing the resistance to the gauge to vary showing different fuel levels. Note...

UPDATE Got er done except for the missing bowl gasket, secondary accelerator pump diaphram and accelerator pump diaphram check valve. All missing from a new verified correct unopened Mr. Gasket kit.:BangHead::bs_flag: A friend is fairly busy and has two carbs that are acting up and he asked...

At some point in the not too far distant future I would like to put a 5 gallon reserve tank on the flat spot in the trunk right behind the rear seat and put an electric valve (normally closed) between that and the existing tank to dump from the reserve tank to the main. I would like it to be...

Over the weekend I replaced my sissy inline fuel pump with a Carter high volume/low pressure rotary vane electric unit mounted on the inside of the frame rail in front of the axle and level with the tank. I also pulled the sender and drilled it for a return nipple. Using 3/8 nylon 12 EFI hose I...

Before long I'm going to be replacing the entire factory steel 5/16 fuel supply side line with FI nylon and using the OE steel as a return. Going to use the OE supply connection on the sender for the new line and install a fitting in the fuel filler tube for the return I had to order a 25 foot...

Thinking to use the OE 5/16 steel line as a return and this stuff for a supply with my new Carter electric pump mounted back at the tank. Any reason why it wouldn't be fine for about 350-375 hp? I realize the 3/8 is OD...

I thought I took care of this possibility when I got the carb. Whenever I get a new or different carb I always loosen the butterfly screws and make sure they center in the carb throat all the way. (seen to many holding one open) After getting everything all set and driving, the engine doesn't...

One thing after another on this 72 Dart with the 318. I don't see how the fuel even got to the jets to run at all. Floats were set at about 1/2 inch of fuel in the bowls and this little pile of goodies in the bottom of both sides. (an easy teaspoon of rust particles) The previous owner probably...

Hey all, I have a 14 inch K&N chrome open element air cleaner and I need to attach a fitting to the bottom of it for PCV inlet that goes from the valve cover to the air cleaner base. It has the punch outs already there in the base, but I don't know where to come up with the nipple that...

Just to let you all know, I ordered a couple of new valve cover breather grommets from Jegs a few months ago and they have both swelled up and turned to slimey goo so had to be replaced. Caught both of them just before the section inside the V covers completely separated and fell inside the...

Besides the 05 Cummins 5.9 it came off of. :-) I'll have to get a picture of it, but it's a Holset unit with computer harnesses on it. Are they of any use to us car guys, or a diesel only unit? Thanks

I was talking with another member about an issue I have when it's hot out and he told me he has the exact same problem, and the same carb. This is it. Edelbrock 1506 600cfm runs and starts well all the time exept when it's hot out. His car does not have the thermal gasket between the carb and...

A nice burn. Put an Edelbrock dual plane and a 1405 Eddy performer carb on my otherwise stock 318, got er dialed in at idle easily but noticed it felt a little whimpy out on the road. Pulled a couple of plugs and they were almost pure white. I upped the mainjets and secondaries two sizes and now...

Nevermind,,,, Called Edelbrock and they said just insulator part number 9266. Thanks anyway. I am going to be putting an Edelbrock 2176 Performer 318/360 intake and a 1406 Performer Carb on my now stock 2 barrel 318. It seems I may need an adapter plate? On the Edelbrock site they...
