Hi Dave,
I was able to play your short vide/audio this time and I don't hear anything unordinary with the normal vacuum pulled through the intake. It looks like you have a Carter carburetor on your 63. I have the Rochester 4 barrel on my 64. When you adjust the two air/fuel screws, does it adjust well? Make sure the carburetor is secure with the four nuts on the intake, but don't overdo it.

Dave,
By any chance, do you know a Randy Wallick in Rockford, IL? He just moved from NY back to Rockford where he grew up? A good friend of mine!

Thats normal. The carb is sucking in air through the primary side. The secondary side is not active until you get way into the throttle.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments 1 Like
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great! In the fall and winter months on a cold start, the car starts awful and wants to die until it warms up. I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
