This kit includes everything to do that.
I never met one who didn't think she wasn't a princes
Pass on the lot of them.
Hah.
Are you still on a limited driving advisement?
I was going to cross into S Philly this morning but the two nearest bridges were backed up. I'll go later.
Still limited. It's the Holiday Weekend. Bridge And expressway traffic leading to them has to be a nightmare.
That's where I would start.
I think I ruined the nozzle when I cleaned it. I used orifice cleaners. Can be aggressive. The "shot" seems to be ending to quick. Have tried every cam in the kit. I have it very close now.
Diaphragms tend to dry out and go bad.
It is a new carb!! But I will change out all......Had rust in it.....

Wonder if this contributes to any of the oiling issues sometimes seen

I need to try a true Philly
Just got home from running errands. Glad to be home, traffic was bad in Hagerstown and it was earlier. We are not going anywhere on this holiday weekend. Going to enjoy the peace and quiet
This just showed up. Now how to get it into the garage.
Yup. I don;t have the patience for sitting in it when I don't have to.
Maybe it will clear up in a couple hours after the Universities and VA have let out most of their commuters.
G**gle map is showing the University ave bridge completely clear. Bet that aint so. Maybe its open! Only seen it opened twice.
The suspense??????
Question for the experts……Since I am making everything reliable and safe for the Dart, brake lines, brakes etc. I figured I should change out the fuel line as well. Cheap insurance. Is there any reason not to change it? Also can I use a flexible line instead of the old hard line? Not sure yet what size fuel line I have.
Flexible line looks like ****. Replace it with a 3/8 line if it is not already 3/8. JMO..
I wouldn't change anything that doesn't need to be.
Its a false economy. 95 % of the new stuff isn't made as well as the old stuff.
If it has a soft wall or leak, that's anothe story.
Hard line the whole way. Steel or stainless steel. Cooler, stronger, lowest friction.
It's generally pretty well protected the way the factory ran it. I can't think of any location that got armor (coil).
Frame in the engine bay can sometimes be a bit close to headers (that's an issue on my 67 but no one else has those headers)
Depends on how long it's been sitting. Ask Tim.
Mitch and Matt beat me to the rest.
And this new fuel line is garbage if exposed to the elements. Steel as much as possible.
watchya got there?
Anywho.
Check for damage and fit in 24 hours. Lol.
Well no damage, fit. Well maybe in a few weeks.
It is well packaged

Great thanks. No leaks or anything I know of, been sitting 50 years. But like you guys said no reason to change it.
Thanks Mitch on the flex line I was not aware of that.
