ok,
We all know that our bronco's aren't suppose to smell quite as 'mundane' as a brand new auto, but as I have gotten my 67 back on the road my wife is constantly b*tching about the exhaust smell. Here is what I have tried so far and what I have.
67 - 289/NP435
Holley reman - 2100, Carter 4070 electric fuel pump.
Explorer serpentine
It will start up immediately every time hot or cold, without having to use the choke. (i am not sure if this is good or a symptom of what I have wrong)
Idle's nicely at 900rpm pulling a steady 17 on the vacuum gauge. I have the idle/fuel screws at 1 1/2 turns out, that is where I got the best reading.
It smells like crud - I believe the term is running rich (but I have been wrong i the past on many ocassion). Since it smells like this at both idle and speed, do I need to look at the 'jets' and floats in the carb? Are these adjustable on a 2100 series carb?
Any help you can provide would be great as I have to do something to get the wife to stop complaining. The exhaust is routed properly out the side at the rear corners of the rig.
Thanks,
dan
