Yeah, didn't have any luck at all with this set. Will try to take them back to Lowes tomorrow and see if they have some left-handed drill bits.Thanks Randy.
Has anyone used this on their mustang? I am trying to removed the stripped roofside weatherstrip screw near the door hinge and tried this one and am not having good luck...
Someone on a Mustang site said the pump cup had to be manually put in the well when putting the float bowl cover on. Just don't see how that is possible, but this is my first carb rebuild....
Was curious about the pump cup on the Holley 1940 carb. Should the cup go all the way into the "well", or should the cup and spring be compressed when the bowl cover assembly is reinstalled? Hoping for the later, as I cannot see how the cup would fit in the well.I can send a message to anyone...
I pulled my carb off tonight. Honestly, with my non-vast knowledge of carbs, and from everything I have read from you guys, it appears fine. The one thing that is odd, and this was my mistake, was that when I inverted the float bowl (checking to see if the floats touch the straight edge (figure...
Working on a 66 Mustang coupe 200ci. Rebuilt the carburetor (Holley 1940 1bbl) and am having terrible acceleration issues...** Update **
Super,
I have a Pertronix electric ignition. If i'm not mistaken, the rotor is removed when these are installed, right?
How difficult is replacing the vacuum advance control? Would I need
to check my timing afterwards?My nephew seems to think my carb issue is timing-related. Couldn't hurt to check I don't guess.He also mentioned that the diaphragm in my vacuum advance control canister could be shot...
I know you can get them new online for around $50 (and I prefer the physical manual versus the CD), but does anyone happen to have one sitting around that they would like to get rid of?
I think it might be. When I crank it up I notice smoke coming from behind the valve cover near the firewall. I may wait until I go sometime this week and clean under the engine and underneath the hood, just to make sure.
Saw that cjponyparts.com had their exhaust manifold for $95. It said it was with IMCO? What is that exactly?http://www.cjponyparts.com/EXHAUST-MANIFOLD-WITH-OUT-IMCO-170-200-1965-1967/p/EXM1/
Am thinking about replacing the exhaust manifold. That old rusty thing is an eye sore.I normally use PB Blaster as a penetrating liquid, but someone here mentioned something called B4 Wonder which would be better? I know I will need to soak those manifold bolts in it for a while before...
Someone on another Mustang forum just said that '66 Mustangs with the inline 6 did not come from the factory with an exhaust manifold???Is this right???
Okay, one more question, for now. I have the model 1940 1V carb. that I rebuilt a few weeks back. Since having issues with the replacement of my radiator I have not had an opportunity to do a good run of the engine. I did crank it for a few minutes, though, and noticed fuel leaking from where...
Will try to get some posted soon. Not sure what the guy was thinking when he had the seats done in red and black velour... Makes me look like a pimp. Will eventually replace with red and white pony interior.
