    Electric Choke Disconnected?

    he probably disconnected it because he couldn't get it to work properly. electric chokes can be wired and connected at all times, no need to disconnect. you didn't mention what kind of carb you have. most chokes are on the passenger side of the carb. you will be looking for a wire going to the...

    R12 TO R134 Conversion

    You will need a flush, then r134 ports, New orifice tube, ether oil . R134 is not as efficient as r12 but it cools just fine. If you have work done for you, expect to pay big.

    Carb Bog

    15 is in gear or in park? You always do it in gear. Turn screws in all the way then back out 2 full turns. Adjust evenly until best vacuum. If still bogging, look at metering rods. 800 is a little high for idling.

    Intake leak. Spray some carb starter or wd40 around entire intake, under carb, around dizzy, along china walls. Any change in rpm indicates vacuum leak.

    I went back and read your first post, do you have cats? Second, when your neighbor rebuilt carb..did he touch the intake manifold at all?

    For every 1000 feet avove sea level you can subtract from that 18-22 inches of Hg (mercury). A lopey cam indicates overlap of valves further reducing inches of Hg. I am at 4200 feet and my truck has 12-14 inches of Hg. Small cam. 7 is an indication of either and extreme cam or an intake manifold...

    ignore my previous post.. too many holleys on my brain. on an eddy you should be looking at the metering adjustment or adjusting the pump cam like you have done.
  17. Boone83K10

    Carb Bog

    I meant the adjustment screw. You're talking about the pump cam..you should put the pump cam back then adjust the accelerator pump arm to barely touch the adjustment screw.then go back to the pump cam.

    When you said you tuned accel pump, so is the arm barely touching accel arm and no pressure is being forced upon it.

    Well it could be the power brake line. Start from the modulator and follow it up to the other end. It should be to hooked to manifold vacuum.

    82 c10 Fuel gauge pegged past full and keeps popping fuse.

    a blown fuse indicates too much current. it is coming from your splice into the hot wire since you didn't say it was happening before you did that looking at the dual tank diagram, you see that the selector valve switches between tanks mechanically and electrically. when it is selected to the...

    82 c10 Fuel gauge pegged past full and keeps popping fuse.

    why are you trying to do it this way. Just leave the selector valve on, leave the bad tank on, leave the ground wire on the bad tank, leave the sending wire hooked up from top of bad tank to selector valve, then switch the selector valve to the good tank and leave it. the selector valve is...
