just picked this rusty girl up for free. nice little halfton only missing the outer rocker and drivers floor. other than that its very very solid.
anywho the reason im here is twofold, one it drinks a gallon of fuel idling in about 2 minutes which is insane and tells me theres something wrong with the carb or fuel system (not sure which since it came with 12 single barrel carbs in various states of rot.) the v8 pump installed is wrong and doesnt pull fuel more than about 3 feet behind it not sure about the pressure
2nd problem is i cant find the right rebuild kit or even a properly fitting air filter, ive seen more monojets without filters than with them at this point (i do have a weird bulky one barrel that fits a normal style v8 filter. i was debating on using my spare fiero air cleaner for the truck but it needs to run first)
any guides on rebuilding a monojet properly or where to find a kit that fits one
i do have an eventual plan for this truck that involves a 4wd suburban i picked up for free and im debating on keeping the i6 with the overdrive automatic or not.
