Hi benfisher, welcome to the forum. I don't know for certain but I see no reason a new carb would be a bad idea as long as someone knowledgeable confirmed that it would fit the manifold and help you deal with (perhaps) modifications you would need to make. Have you tried talking to tech support at Edelbrock?
Thank you, the only reason I am thinking up updating the carb is, in Vancouver Canada we have to put our vehicles through Airecare, as in Califoria I assume. I finally made it through airecare but the mechanic I used told me the carb should either be replaced or rebuilt. Perhaps I should rebuild the existing carb, which is stock.
Regards: Ben.
It depends mainly on whether you want to retain the OEM appearance. The EDELBOCK, while a copy of the CARTER, does appear slightly different and the fuel inlet line has to be modified (as well as possibly the carb linkage).
Other than that, it is a popular upgrade.
There are several versions of the EDEL so research it thoroughly. Then look for a deal on GOOGLE.
Wow, are antique cars in Canada and California subject to air quality testing? I thought they were exempt everywhere when older than 25 years in most places, but certainly at 50 even in the difficult places.
I love the smell of burning rubber and raw gas in the morning.
(Almost as good as napalm - to give you an idea where I got that.)
The aroma of fresh cordite drifting over the valley...
I am not a tree hugger by any means but the engine has to be within spec just for fuel mileage alone. If she smokes and throws raw fuel out of the pipes, then you can't enjoy the ride (IMO).
