I had a spare Carter carb that I switched out the Holley with and the problem followed. So i knew it wasn't the carb. So, a friend of mine who is a mechanic said he had actually had situations where somehow there was a blockage in the fuel return off of the pump that caused the fuel to back up...

Yes. Put it all back and same thing. Frustrating to say the least.

The float seems fine. I even took it out and submerged in water to see if it would Show any leaks. Question: Is it possible for the fuel pump to be the culprit? I mean it’s worked fine for the last three years since I’ve installed it but is this something someone’s encountered before? Could the...

Well, I took the needle valve out cleaned it really good and put it back. Same problem. I took it out again and this time I remembered that I had an extra one from another 1945. Tried that and the same problem. And just to be clear this thing is definitely leaking out the bottom. I guess my...

75 Dart Swinger Holley 1945 carb So my car has been driving great for most of this year. Suddenly out of nowhere I went to start it and it started OK but seemed to be idling wonky. Then when I hit the gas to engage the kick down it just died and then I could hear gas coming out of the...

Thanks for posting this. I have a new S spring that I need to install on my driver door. Can anyone give me a bullet list of how to remove the door/hinge to get it on. Any tips or anything else that would be helpful is much appreciated. I am nervous removing a door. Thanks

Hey all I have a 75 Swinger that I am wanting to put a NOS Carter BBS I picked up. It's for later model Dodge trucks (#7044S) Here is a pic http://i.ebayimg.com/00/s/MTIwMFgxNjAw/z/b2YAAOSwEeFVAEHg/$_57.JPG I want to get an electric choke conversion kit from Carbsonly.com but Carlos was not...

This is (I believe) the high speed air bleed. It has 3 little holes about halfway up. Interestingly, it has a hole at the bottom but it has been plugged by a a small amount of solder. Does anyone know what the benefit is to that either remaining plugged or not plugged? I know it's an odd...

Still looking. A number of people have sent pictures and offers but none of them were the correct model I am looking for. If you have one please contact me. The snorkel should be about 6 1/4" long with a rounded end along with the other details mentioned in my first post. Many thanks

I am looking for this exact air cleaner (74-76 see image below) but in working condition And with the diaphragm piece that's missing in this one. Working condition means the diaphragm that opens the door in the snorkel works (I.e. Holds vacuum and the little door opens and closes). A complete...

I currently have the wrong size bail on my Holley 1945. I have the small and tall size that fits the 63-67' air cleaners. I need one that will fit the 70-73 air cleaner. PM me if you can sell me one. Thanks

Thanks everyone. For the record, the slant six manifold takes a 3/8 not a half-inch. I have it installed now.

i want to remove this tree and plug it. I have read one person saying a 1/2" pipe plug and others have said an oil pan plug. Anyone have a part they have ordered or can anyone confirm what they have used in this situation with size? Many thanks for your responses.

Yes. drop me a PM and let me know. Thanks
