This has shown up recently. Thoiggt it was radio static.  Got less when i pushed accel, sort of disappears,   i heard it at dump when i got out one day, pulled off air cleaner.  The video is kinda harsh because i hqd it very close to carb.  You can hear when i tap accel rod, it quits.  Its sounds loke a whistle.  Any thoughts?

Also,  at low speeds, it kind of is non existent, like slow crusin in town,  this mainly happens on the road.  

I had the exact same problem. It would come & go but seemed to be related to engine temperaure. Turns out it was an intake manifold gasket leak. The gaskets were the thin metal type. I replaced them with Best 14046E (https://vintagecarburetorsandgaskets.com/shop/intake-manifold-set-1...) which are thicker non-metal gasket material. Solved my problem.

Here's is the whistle. https://drive.google.com/file/d/10RgTbdSpvkc-5TbMoObfhO7NFzNmgHk8/v...

It was intake manifold gasket.  I chged it while back and it disappeared

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates

Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 14 Comments

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
