Carburator Manifold Issue
Some of my spark plugs are burning rich and some are perfect. The 2nd and 4th in on driver side and the 5th and 8th in on the passenger side are the ones burning very rich. I changed the wires to see if I had bad wires and the same issue. I have a 1406 elderblock carburetor. I read Jason's post on the carburator and pulled the carb and noticed the holes in the "gutter" were not plugged. I there were no other holes on the top of the manifold. Any one have any idea's and should the gutter holes be plugged? I do not have a heat riser either nor can I see the underneath of the manifold.

I have about 1500 miles on motor. What is the name of that equipment that can evaluate entire engine? I'll locate one. lol

Yes motor recently rebuilt. Cap & rotors new and the cap looks good unless I can't see a crack in it. Should I have my dist. checked? I have an electronic dist. and coil. I have new wires and even tried switching the wires around. I'm almost ready to go buy a new carb. This one is about an 1 1/2 old. Is there a machine that can check to see if all cylinders are firing properly?

What your saying is.
Check and clean bad plugs first.
Plug the back of the carb. vacuum lines ..even the tranny line. Keep the vacuum advance hooked up and run car. Will I be able to drive the car or will I have to idle it?
Thanks

Yeah, big difference but it is carbon type dark. Any thought on the manifold gutters?

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?
Vintage Air AC
Posted by Chase on March 21, 2024 at 5:55am 0 Comments 1 Like
Hey everyone, has anybody done a Vintage Air AC/Heat setup in their car? I want to bypass the old vacuum setup and go with a Vintage Air Gen 2 model. Before I get started, does anyone have any experience with this? (Which model to go with, do’s and dont’s, etc.) It looks pretty involved. Any and all info/pics would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Who rebuilds original AC accumulator dryers for 1964 Cadillac? I have been on Classic auto air in Tampa FL wait list for over a year , There is one on Old air products web site that looks very similar to the original # 21-4214A but states it fits 1962 Gm cars, The one recommended for a 1964 Cadillac is half the length 21-4215A What is everyone using ? I would prefer to be as original as possible. Thanks
