Hello all,
Some of you may know this already but I picked up a sweet 66 in really good shape. Anyway, this is probably going to sound like a really stupid question (and probably the first of many) but I'm pretty new to carburated engines..
I'm attempting to swap out the single barrel carb on this rig with a spankin new one. The new vs. the old are pretty similar as far as all the connections and what not, but there is one thing that's got me going crazy.
The throttle connection seems to be set up a little differently and binds up when attached. It seems like it would work fine if the carb sat up 3/4" or 1" or so. so that the mechanism can clear the cable. Do they make adapters or spacers or something that can raise this carb up? and if they do does anyone know what they are called and maybe where I can get one?
It's a single barrel for a 170-6 cyl, the carb is made by Holly.. Sorry for the dumb question I'm just getting going on this and figured it would be a no brainer.. go figure.
