I love flat heads in old hot rods. I have a friend with a 32 roadster with triple 97’s, etc. Looks like it would have back in the days. Hallibrand quick change too
Perfect! Flashlight and car lover. Goes hand in hand I might say. I also like to get my hands dirty with cars.
I guess you’ve heard of Lordco in your neck of the woods?
Yeah I think it’s just a B.C. thing with Lordco. No I don’t work there. I just buy there but not as much as before. Back in the day when I had the Civic and Eagle Talon TSI and doing mods and repairs was when I would go there.
would not want to have to flow-balance all those things
i had a nightmare with 2 carburetors on my 1970 Triumph GT-6
and 1959 Volvo PV-544
they both had 2 carbs, weird upside down bowls
you were supposed to run a tube to each ear from the intake and balance them somehow from that
with the engine running
hot stuff everywhere
fan belts flying
oil
gas
after that i got a 75 rabbit, at least it just had one carb!
Those were solex or SUs. Not so bad once you get the linkages all loose. After doing a few you can start to hear the difference pretty well. You can also get a flow meter with a little ball that floats up and down in a tube to show relative vacuum through the carb. I’ve set up more than my fair share on old British cars…
Why can't a carburetor mix air and carbohydrates, instead of air and hydrocarbons? What's the difference between a hydrocarbon and a carbohydrate, anyway?
What kind of carburetor did the presidents' car have, whose engine ran on glue and tar? It didn't have to run very far, to the East, to meet the Czar.
My old one does not even state country of manufacture. It does state foreign patents applied for so I believe it is made in the US. But it might have been Britain I think. I have no real idea. When Edelbrock bought them out many years ago they were made in the US for a while but then moved to China.
