Carburator Question

[BRO66]

I am going to be purchasing a 1966 Bronco. Everything on the Bronco is rebuilt or new. But their is one problem with the Carburator. It was originally from Mississippi and runs real rough and real rich. I think its because of the elevation difference between their and where I live in Colorado. I think it needs re-jetted for this elevation. Also It's in wyoming and their is a 1500ft difference in elevation and i didn't think it would make a difference whether or not it was adjusted for here or Wyoming. I hope their isn't another problem with the carburator but their may be if its not the elevation difference. If anybody could give me Info or Had some ideas about what i should do, it would be very helpful

You could have a number of different problems. Maybe very high float level, maybe vacuum leak, maybe crap stuck in needle and seat. Maybe it just needs adjustment. Use a vacuum gage and turn the mixture screws untill you get the highest vacuum reading and then go from there. 1500 feet isn't a big deal in normal driving conditions. You must also remember that at this time of year gas is blended a little different in different areas of the country. Good luck with it. Welcome to the site.

Welcom to the board. When you get the truck, have the carb rebuilt-in your area. There is a good carb rebuilder in every town, and they know what is neccessary to put you in good shape. Mine is a stock 2 barrel, and the guy here put a "offroad kit" in during the rebuild. Cost me 20 extra dollars, but the EB used to die all the time, and now it runs like a top. I have had it over the top and on the side, and it kept running even then.

Have a great time with the new toy!!
