madmanadam Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Just recieved my carb in the mail, what a happy day. 670cfm Street Advenger Just got tired of leaky carb so I bought a new on. It suppose to be right out of the box bolt on power. I should be up and running this weekend if not sooner. I need to change my linkage and fuel line location. Spring is almost here and I'm almost ready to play hard. had to share $377 for the carb, fuel rail, and pressure guage, shiped from Texas to Washington. Not bad Zuall8ter Adam The car is getting faster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Anonymous Posted February 21, 2002 Share Posted February 21, 2002 Those carbs are a cool bolt on power adder. I always suggest to power valve it correctly to your app. (one Hg. below your idle vacuum reading) toss in the lightest secondary spring to open those back barrels real quick, and jet it for your app. I've probably sold a good dozen of those carbs in the last two months and set up half of them before being dropped on and man did I have some happy customers!!! Hey madman, call me at the shop and I'll go over some jetting suggestions and tuning part #'s so you can go grab them locally!! Nice choice on carb! That thing should make it quite lively toi say the least!!! 925 833 9871!! Give me a call man... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sumo Posted February 23, 2002 Share Posted February 23, 2002 Hey Long Rod, What settings would you suggest for a 69 Chevy Pickup with a small block 400 with a Holley contender intake? The truck isnt hot rodded, its just for daily driving. I have one of the Avengers on the way to my friend. Thanks Sumo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madmanadam Posted February 28, 2002 Author Share Posted February 28, 2002 Well the car likes the carb, but having problems with the rear float. The instructions say if the float level is high to loosen lock nut and turn clockwise to lower and counterclock wise to raise. Turn a 1/4 at a time. Well I turned it clockwise and gas started to pour out of the top. Hum turned it counter and it goes back to where it was. I just dont get it, carbs and me dont get along. Is there anyone out there that would like to come to my home and play with my car? I live in Everett Wa. Please advise thanks Adam Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
