CARBURETOR CRISIS: Today I cleaned up and installed the Carter carburetor. I made new vacuum advance and manifold thermostat pipes for it. Car started right up. No leaks. Let it warm up, then took it for a drive.
The car does exactly was it was doing before. ..fluffing out when I depress the peddle to go up hill or speed up. So it seems the problem is not the carburetor after all, tho the Stromberg needs that new spring. It wasn't causing the problem.
I disconnected the overdrive ignition ground just to eliminate that as a possibility.
Now I'm baffled. As soon as I hear from Bob Earls, I'll take it to him.
Depressing. I think I'll eat something.
