Alright Ladies and Gents, you can figure out who the ladies are and the gents are.

I was down working on the truck and cleaning up the carb, checking vacuum lines. Spraying around and didn't hear anything out of the ordinary, except when I sprayed here

The truck seemed to jump a little, but that goes off into emissions so it could have been my ear lol...

I was also spraying around the bottom of the manifold and it bubbled up in a couple places, no change in idle it didn't seem. But right here

It bubbled up really nicely and it did it in a couple other areas

here is a crappy video you can kinda see. Sorry I was getting attacked by hordes of gnats lol

what do you think

 

[tanman722001]

The bubbling in the areas is from the areas beening hot.I dont think you have a leak.I would check the timing to make sure it is in time,and either rebuild or replace the carb.You should be able to get a carb kit for around $20.And it should run alot better.

 

[brentleedragon]

The truck wasn't hot when I did that

 

[brentleedragon]

Also it was only in two/three spots cold that it did it. But I suppose the manifold would get warm before the rest of it

 

[brentleedragon]

Nothing....?

:-(

Ok since none of you have ever used a real carb, I am suggesting either Dellorto DLRA's or Webber downdrafts. Way more tunable than any holley or edelbrock. The intake might be a trick, but if it was easy, well you know the rest..... Stay away form holley unless you like working on them all the time. Especially if your novice at best in the carb department. If that was the case, go with the edlebrock and forget it.
