Morning all...took the Barracuda for a drive. The carb had been shorting at initial acceleration. John took it off and the accelerator pump was bad, and two step metering rods instead of three. I had an extra Carter 4298. It had the right metering rods and took the factory floats and used the springs off it. Mine had been rebuilt and they'd used aftermarket parts. I'll go original where I can. Got a kit ordered for the pump. All is good.
