Is anyone using this on their Carter AFB? I'm currently using a manual choke but would not mind installing this if it works well http://www.ebay.com/itm/CARTER-ELECTRIC-CHOKE-KIT-AFB-4-bbl-CARBURE...

Good point on the rich startup on warm. My fuel injected 76 Seville has an electric fast idle valve heater which when cold is heated by 12V but when fully extended will remain so from heat soak from the warm engine. I assumed the electric choke would remain open when the engine is warm but maybe not.

Thanks Tony. Yes, the one good thing about a manual choke is that you have complete control of how open it is. I guess I will leave my Carter as is. When it finally craps out will get an Edelbrock with electrec choke.

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed

Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments

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

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!
