I wish I could say I had a hose leak on a 426 Hemi, but nope, this was on my 1969 Dart with a 273. Sometime in the last couple of years while the car was getting put back together, I installed new reproduction fuel lines at the engine and new hose sections and a filter. This is the old-style...

Hi there: For a few years I've been dealing with the frustration of an inaccurate gas gauge on my '68 Valiant after I replaced the tank and sending unit with moderately-priced aftermarket items. I've had the same issue of "drops from Full like a rock within 30 miles" that several other...

Hey guys: Did Carter offer a zip kit for the early AFB? Early AFB refers to the 1958-67 version with the smaller horn size. Would anyone know the applicable number as well? Thanks!

Hey everyone: I'm having an issue with the 1966 AFB on my 383. To begin, this is the original carburetor to the engine, and it is one of the early-style small pattern AFB carbs with NO COUNTERWEIGHT. It never had one. The issue is: the engine starts to starve for fuel when you stay in the...

Hey guys: Been working on a slight drivability issue. Very likely need to tweak some carb jets one way or the other. Stock low compression engine, pulled this plug after a mix of city and highway driving. How does the jetting look to you? Thanks.

Hey guys: I thought I would post this as a "case study", since it's not technically on an A-body, but my '87 Plymouth Gran Fury. The backstory is that this is a very original car with 98K. When I bought it late last year, it had a terrible mid-range stumble that was predictable and...

Hey guys: Well, I think I might know the answer, but some clarification wouldn't hurt. One of my 318's is running a mid-80's Holley 2280 2bbl, which is a nice carb. It is not a Lean Burn version. It has a...let's call it a "fitting" on the passenger side of the carb exactly where...

Hey guys, I have a question that I didn't see answered already. I have seen small-block stock replacement fuel pumps with the outlet facing back toward the rear nearly parallel with the inlet and those with the outlet facing more forward. Which does an AVS-equipped 340 use and what is the...

Hey guys: Are there any appreciable differences in AVS kits? I'm going through my 1970 4937S and I don't see much different gasket-wise than the 4401S on my '68 383 other than the idle compensator that's in the rear of the carb body under the airhorn. I get can get kits from flea bay cheaper...

Well, I've been running a 600 Edelbrock on my warmed-over 318 in the Dart. It's been a love-hate relationship to say the least. My car doesn't get driven much since it's still under "renovation", and if I let it sit a month without running, one side of the idle circuit in that carb will plug...

Hey guys: I'm in the middle of overhauling a '68 AVS, and I discovered a couple problems. First it appears to have the wrong primary jets in it, in this case regular AFB style 386 jets, where this carb should have the tall 398 primary jets for use with the 3-stage rods. What's interesting...

Hey guys: A few years back I snagged a nice Holley 4175 out of a junkyard van and it's been floating around looking for a home since. Well now it will go on a mild 383 in a heavy vehicle. For those who are not familiar with them, this is a 650 cfm spreadbore Holley intended as a...

Hey guys: I recently converted my '73 slant-six Valiant from it's original and leaking Holley 1920 to a 1945. I know everyone has their own opinion of each carb, but I'm 100 percent glad I did it. The 1945 runs better all the way around and eliminates what I consider design deficits that the...

So I have read various posts about people having issues where the fuel gauge reads improperly after replacing the sending unit. I have my own issues with this...my gauge reads full when the tank was full, then drops from full to near empty in the space of 70 miles. When the gauge indicated...

No that's not a typo in the title:smile: I am running a BBD on my '74 daily-driven Valiant 318. I am switching to a 7041180 Rochester 2GV, the '71 1-year only one for a couple different reasons. One of those reasons is that the BBD is a reman and does not have a bowl vent. When the engine...

Hey guys: I replaced the tank and sender/pickup in my '73 Valiant DD and I'm having an issue: I had to put about 5 gallons of gas in before the gauge would come up above empty. Yesterday, it was nearly to E, so I put about 5 gallons in which put it at FULL. Well, since then I've driven...

I swear, if I ever get my '71 Plymouth to simply run reliably, I'll be the happiest man around. Back a couple months ago I was running a Holley 2280, and fighting stuck float issues. After lots of work I threw in the towel and rebuilt a basic late 60's low-top BBD. That carburetor runs much...

Hey all: My '71 has started suffering from a heat-soak flooding thing since the weather got warmer. The warmer it's been the worse it's gotten. What happens is, if it sits and heat soaks an hour or so, it'll restart fine, but then loads up and tries to quit if i don't catch it and keep it...

Hey guys, got a question: Parts catalog shows one number for 318 fuel pump in '71-72, then another number for '73-75 and possibly later. I bought a pump for a 1971 318, although the engine itself is a '73(I didn't think there were any differences). However the pump outlet is turned around...
