Im havin ga time figuring out what line of Holley to look at , even with your advice prior.... n poking around the interweb I came across "quick fuel" carbs...based on the holleys.....and they seem to come with the bleeds etc....? Any experience with these? Seems like price wise they are the...

smallblock v. big block --- Thats true --- but the ones I am talking about are both small block.......apparently at some point in time they changed the orientation of the output fitting for the hard line.....it is clocked some 45 degrees to the front from where it is on the later model pumps...

ALso -- I read somewhere that when a mechanical pump fails it can contaminate the crankcase oil with gas..... When this pump failes it was leaking gas from the weep hole.......should I change the oil?

Soooooooo...took the car out Monday evening, the day after I posted above......and the BRAND NEW fuel pump...a spectra Premium.....DIED. leaked at the weep hole and had NO pressure. Had to get towed. Finally got a new Carter 60514 pump in today......the box says it was made IN KOREA. This...

Are they as "easy" to tweak and change stuff in and out of as the edelbrocks? Seriously considering this ...but after a decade of tinkering with the Eddy and getting no where new, will probably be lost.....lol

So I was wondering if a different carb would be better.....it's been 11 years fighting the problem....lol Would the Holley route use the same lokar throttle and kickdown cables I have?? I am pretty much ignorant when it comes to Holley carbs.....as far as sizing etc......assume mating one to...

SI I ordered the 6866....when it arrived I found out the difference.....the outlet is clocked 45 degrees to the front of the car from where I have it now....would have meant buyin ga new piece of tube and bending...PITA...so I used a brand new spectra premium I found in my garage...bought it...

re: the pumps being poor --- not happy to hear that....I always thoughts Carters were the "go to" brand.....anything better these days or is EVERYTHING crap anymore? <sigh> re: the step ups...yeah I have beat that horse to death...LOL....running the lowest ones now - blue....it got me my...

Yep thats what I always thought /was told too....but places like Summit and Rock AUto all have those two part numbers and all say the same thing...not interchangeable....the specs all looks the same to me...I think back in 2009 I just gave up and got the 76 part and it has worked fine all this...

I have an angry cam in my 318 and have always struggled to get it tuned good for idle --- edelbrock 600 carb -recently tore it all down and cleaned ot all etc and have been tinkering to reset stuff....have the idle as good as it will ever be, but in my tinkering today I had a rude surprise....I...

Looking for the parts to refurbish my 72 Cuda 2 speed wiper linkage "cam" section.... Need all the parts shown below (my old parts) plus the boot and clip and wavy washer...etc. basically everything. Tell me what you have and how much shipped to 15132. Thanks

AMEN! The MARKET is what determined that 70-71s were more "special". Me, I prefer the 72 up taillights (no offense to the 70/71 guys...lol) so I am pretty happy mine wasnt a 70-71 when I bought it....less $$ and fewer people were looking at them at the time. Though I, too, have wondered...

Agree with the studs... I used plain old permatex #2 when I put the studs in , from what I can recall. No issues.

Is it weird that I do? LOL

Havent been around lately here and just learning of this. Prayers and good energy going out to you both. Today's medicine and technology can work miracles (with a little of of God's help!). I have a friend who had a similar situation and they were able to get her squared away with some...
