Carter AFB Idle Step Up Actuator
Recently, I was having some idle issues and found the vacuum at idle was very low. After testing everything I found the Idle Step Up Actuator had a leaking diaphragm. I contacted Daytona Parts to see if they had any, they didn't but said they could rebuild my actuator. I sent the actuator to them for the rebuild and was pleasantly surprised to receive it back looking like new. It looks great and holds vacuum with my MityVac. Hope it is pretty close to the proper adjustment when I get it installed.

Thanks Russ. For many years I've read on the CLC board how good these folks are. This is my first experience doing business with them, I'm very pleased with the outcome and transaction.
After posting the pictures, I installed the actuator. After dialing in the adjustment, it works as well as it looks!

Wow! That's a used part? Very nice work. Mind if I ask how much for the rebuild?

Clovis, Yes, it is the original part to the car. Rebuild including the return shipping was $62. I'd say it's as close to new as you can get.

Looks like new yellow/gold zinc coating too? Probably almost worth the price for that alone!

I added Daytona Parts to our Parts Suppliers Page.

I'm going to check mine for leaks. Always good to get into that habit with our older cars.

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?
