FABO,
I wanted to give some feedback. My 1976 Dart Lite sat for several years, primary reason was I was unable to find a decent 1 barrel carb. I have bought and rebuilt 3 units. I rebuilt two unit, and I had someone else rebuild the 3rd.
I was forced to bring the car out of storage, and broke down and bought a carb off Rock Auto.
I added the standard 5% coupon code, total to my door was 150.00 range.
Amazing. It looked great straight out of the gate. I had to play with linkage a bit, as they listed for auto trans, my DL is 3 speed manual. Minor adjustments, plugging of extra vacuum ports, etc was all it took. I can drive the car on demand now, great idle, and MPG has been pretty decent. I am sure it could use some more tweaking, but overall, it dropped on, with no fuss, and whoever rebuilt it is much better than I am.
