Changing Intakes and Carb

[KULTULZ]

Sal,

Now you of all people should realize one can't have a real racing type car until you start making these modifications -

1) Wire the choke open (or remove entirely)

2) Wire the heat riser open (if not already frozen open)

3) Defeat DIST vacuum advance and twist DIST to please (aka POWER TIMING)

4) Punch a couple of holes in the muffler(s)

5) Install A CHI-COM SGL PLANE intake (used and stained)

6) And top it all off with an chromedidium EDEL ACL with the foam element that catches on when there is a lean backfire

You have to keep up with the times man ...

The fast idle works just fine on my carb. You can install that piece without disconnecting anything on the choke. That's how the original piece was made. I don't know what the guy was thinking on the carb pictured. It's set up to open so late that the vacuum diaphragm would open it before he ever got to the point to open it mechanicaly. Never noticed a bog or hesitation on mine. Have a bit of the opposite. My "409" Ranchero will fry the tires before it bogs down.

OK, I was looking at the original picture with all of the choke parts missing.
