I agree. Sort the ignition first for misfiring. If nothing else, you will eliminate it as a suspect.


I bought an entire NOS carb for my 282 engine from Kanter for about $545 or so this Spring. Shipping added maybe $30.


Ethyl doesn't care if I rebuild carbs on the kitchen table, but the light is better in the living room. She doesn't care about that, either.


Remember the old oil squirt cans? Do you still have one? Three-in-1 would work, too. If so, load it with 30-weight and crank up the car. Follow the gaskets and squirt a fine bit of oil along the surface. Leaking exhaust will blow and leaking intake should suck in a bit. Seems the me I heard about this test somewhere long ago - or I just made it up. Not sure.
