    carter/edelbrock idle

    The choke makes me think its running lean too. But its strange that when i open up the idle mix screws all the way it still wont get any better. Thats what is making me think its the springs and that i dont have enough vacuum to overcome them at idle so they are clogging the jets. Then when i...

    carter/edelbrock idle

    Im running a carter on my 289. It wont idle at all but as soon as it has gas or closed choke it runs well. i cant get it to idle long enough to even play with the idle screws. I have no idea what the origional application of it was but im gonna assume it was a big motor. i have rebuilt the...

    my bronco wont turn off!

    Sounds like your getting feedback into the ignition circuit. I did a delco alternator conversion and i had the same problem. What i did was put a diode in the circuit. A diode is like a 1 way valve so it allows current to flow in one direction only and when you shut off the truck no current...

    DIY Bedliner

    Advise on 390 Holley electric choke hookup?

The stator terminal only puts out about 9 volts while all aftermarked carbs.....ie your holley carb require a full 12 volts to operate. If you hook it up to the 9 volt source the choke will...

    prep for body swap - what parts to order?

    I did this same thing only i used a body from 67. The main problem i had was adapting the 77 plastic fuel tank to the 67 fuel filler. The hoses at the filler on the body is a different diameter than the hose where it mates with the tank. I just got a hose of the bigger diameter and cut a...

    altenator

    I have a Delco alternator in mine. Easy to install and you get rid of the voltage regulator. I did the whole conversion with a napa rebuilt alternator for under $50. Amp gauge still works too. You will have to make a new alternator harness though.
