Carburetor Question - Is this a good call?
Holley gaskets pucker over time. You can rebuild it and run it and then put it on a shelf for 5 years and the block gaskets will look like hourglasses when you pull them . Get the good blue gaskets and put chap-stick on them prior to install. There aint a gasket under the waterline of a Carter. Jets and rods are a cinch to change: just a screwdriver..dont even have to drain the carb. Drives Rich gets a fatter rod, lean gets a thinner one. Takes about 2 minutes to change a rod in a carter, you can almost do it with the car idling. Idle is screws up front. 65 273/4 didnt get an AVS, it was an AFB, Not invented yet. primary and secondary jet are listed. Rods may have been .068 X .050 from a 3447 as the 3447 is a legal replacement carb.
