Subject: Re: Fwd: carburetor
Joe,
This carb represents one of the first attempt to meet the newly enacted (at
that time) smog regulations. The one I had was a disaster. I know my way
around a Holley carb pretty well and I never did get this one to perform
anywhere near satisfactorally. The metering circuits (idle, main, primary
and secondary) are calibrated to run very lean. Mine typically bucked and
surged at part throttle while crusing and on acceleration would actually
slow down when the secondary barrels opened. This carb has secondary
metering plate (Holley 4160) rather than a metering block with removable
jets (Holley model 4150) and the plates are difficult to find and categorize
for fuel delivery.
Improving the performance of this carb is far more complex then simply
changing jets and power valves and would involve extensive changes in
jetting, air bleeds, and emulsification circuits by people that had very
high technical understanding and the equipment to measure circuitry changes.
I recommend that you do like I did and replace the carb with a '69 AVS. It
flows just as much air and is pre-smog and is a bolt-on replacement.
Good luck!!!

AMEN to what Larry said. Put on a Carter AVS, once adjusted you
shouldn't have to touch it for many, many thousands of miles.
I have done it to several that came with Hollys, couldn't wait to
'throw' them away.
Good luck.

Subject: Re: Fwd: carburetor
Another good reason to go to a Carter instead of Holley is safety. I have seen several Holly-equiped Chryslers have damage from under-hood fire caused by leaking tubes on Holly carbs. I have personally bought a 68 and a 69 300 from insurance companies way back in the early 70s because of this problem. Both were cars that had not been started for some time and the o-rings on the fuel tubes between the front and rear fuel bowl had dried out and dripped on the heat riser portion of the intake manifold and caused a fire. The 68 was in a garage and was extinguished quickly and was repairable but the lady owner of the 69 was driving at night about 10 miles from help so she got stopped and got out safely and watched it burn. Has anyone else had this problem? I haven't because the first thing I do when I buy a Holley-equipped car is replace the carb with a Carter.Okie Bob

Subject: RE: Fwd: carburetor
The 1964 Thunderbirds, and probably other Ford products with larger engines,
had the same problem with a gas feed tube between carb chambers and o-ring
seals. They were notorious for leaking on top of the engine. Most were
replaced with later model carbs that did not use the o-rings,etc. Jim

Subject: Re: window rubber
Hi Ben,
Sorry - I do not have a "magic pill" reply to your dilemna, re: window
rubber. Reading your note, it appears you are trying to install a
reproduction gasket for the windshield ? Ugh ! I learned the very hard
way that one must not use repro windshield or back glass rubber gaskets. I
will never, ever, ever do that again. Aaaargh !
There are plenty of vendors of good used Mopar parts out there - our own
Murray Park is one of them (mbpark@xxxxxxxxxx). Suggest you call one or
the other and procure a good replacement, original, Mopar gasket. The East
Coast is certainly known for its rusty sheetmetal and pockmarked pot metal -
but, one advantage, East Coast rubber parts are in much better shape than
Southwestern ones !
Sincerely
John

Subject: Master Cylinder Major Progress
So... On my C-300... I've cleaned the master cylinder really well. But no
one, not NAPA, not Bernbaum, Not Goers, nor anyone else I can find has a kit
for a 55. Its back together, and seems to work just fine, the brakes no
longer bind up and the pedal does not get hard. But I feel like I'm walking
on eggs, wondering when/if a seal is going to blow.
Since the 55 power brakes seem to be a rarity, maybe I should consider going
to another year. Does anyone have any experience in switching a 55 to a 56
or whatever??

Subject: Re: Fwd: carburetor
I am aware of a couple instances where Holley carbs failed resulting in a
fire under the hood. One was a very nice 1968 300 convert with virtually all
options including power vent windows. My brother bought the car after the
fire but it served only as a parts car. The fire had spread to the whole
interior. A real shame. I would also opt for a Carter AVS in place of a
Holley carb on any mid to late 60s Chrysler product.

Bruce-
All the info I have shows that the K came standard with self-adjusting
brakes. Some one must have replaced the self-adjusters at some point. I
rarely have had any problem that would make me want to take them out and go
back to adjusting my brakes periodically......Just take care of the brakes
as they should be and the self-adjusters work fine.

Hi Ben and all
I like John do not have a "Magic Pill" but, can make a couple of
suggestions. To soften up I recommend setting it out on a 75 deg + day in
the sun for an hour or so. That should soften it up. I would likely put in
a oven at lowest temp for a sort trip. Test a small piece first as I do not
want to hear your better half chased you out of the kitchen when it oozed
out of the oven. Either way you choose to soften it up work in the direct
sun to keep it warm. You will do this the first time to get it to proper
lengths,(upper and lower sections) and again when it is bonded and ready to
install. Cutting. The 4 ends that will make the 2 joins must be cut square
and clean. The way I do any cutting of this sort is to take 2 small blocks
of steel that are square on 2 sides and same height on at least 1 side of
each. Put one on each side of seal and a short bar across them and clamp
down at the edge of your bench top. The 2 blocks must also be square to ea.
other on the vertical edges. This will be your cutting guide. Before
clamping the blocks down squeeze them against the seal to keep it from
moving back and forth when cutting. Cutting knife. I use the break away
type utility knife as it is about 3 1/2" long and very sharp. Saw back and
forth lightly till you cut through. I would have someone hold the free end
of seal to keep it steady when cutting. Remember the cuts must be smooth
and square so you do not have air gaps that will prevent a good bond.
Bonding. The only way to successfully bond the seal ends is to use Super
Glue Gel. The gel type instant adhesive allows time to align the 2 halves
before setting. Hold in place till set per instructions. I think about 30
seconds. I would let set over night before continuing to install. Good luck.
