Just to set the record the keyster kit has nice gaskets but the needles and the needle valves both did not work in my carbs. The threads for the needle valves are much too large and the the needles shoulder doesnt fit in the damper pot
-
Ive done my fair share of needle research and they are too large. I have 3 screw carbs. They dont fit into the piston. Maybe my pistons arent .100?
-
Bought the keyster kit and the needles dont seem to fit? They have hwj 4 on them? Redt of the kit looks good
-
Bring this one back to life. Does anyone know anything about the kit from zcardepot that includes damper dip sticks?
-
I went to the autobody shop today and got them to make me some touch up paint so I can sand it down and have a look. and when I say touch up paint I mean 2k rattle can.
-
that would be nice but based on the rest of the car I highly doubt that. I think I'm going to just try and fix it and see how long it holds. I dont think I'll keep this car for the long run. maybe a summer two and then sell or trade. everyone thinks it's a porsche haha

???

my ebrake was stuck so I'll cleaned everything good and got it to move but it wont return even with both ends unhooked from the drums. I figure I'll take it out and let it soak in some honey goo.
-
thanks ZKars!
-
would putting k & n filters right on the carbs better than this CAI?
-
I would be interested in finding a stock air cleaner housing
-
hahahaha that's awesome! so stoked you found that out. they are identical length and the glue job seems good. i added oil into both carbs and measure with the original damper rod. I might throw some higher grade epoxy on there hahah the car is a 73.
-
this thing seems solid. it has had a ton of body work done to it I can only found one hole about an inch square right above where someone welded in new floor pans.
-
what's the big rush in removing the CAI it isnt being supported by just the carbs. but because the car had a 14 Inch magnaflow that was soooo loud you couldnt hear anything we just welded in a glass pack I had laying around to act as a resonator. I took the valve cover vent off and plugged the hole on the balance tube. added 20w oil to the carbs. holy $^!# the turd runs decent. waaaaay better. now when I hit 4000+ rpm i hear a noise which i think is the water pump from searching the forum.

in regards to all the vaccum linea connected to the intake and the float which ones actually need to be there?
-
thanks. will do
-
hahaha I have the fuel section of the FSM downloaded although I cant see where the short rod would go
-
I want to get the car running as good as I can. i have decent fabrication skills i can weld bungs in here or there modify the Intake if need be. I'm looking for a fair to good running car that I can enjoy driving with some reliability. its definitely not going back to stock unless that will greatly improve throttle response and drivability. this car is going to be a budget hot rod for me. really appreciate the input from some of you who are more familiar with this setup. and figured some of you would enjoy this FrankenZ... brother in law thinks I should just drop a sbc in it and forget about the inline6 but I would like to see how good I could get it ✌
-
both caps are plastic. I guess I could use the 20w and use the one stock indentation to measure both carbs.
-
I think it must have come off a different car with the same carbs?
-
I've bought the car... I started another thread showing how much of a mangled mess the car is. but in going to try my best to make something decent
-
the picture makes them look like different lengths but they're that same
-
so I removed the two caps ser rhe picture. they were dry. from what in reading shouldn't there be oil on there? also in regards to the vent on the valve cover would it be better to plug the port on the intake manifold and just put a filter on the valve cover?
-
thanks for all the input guys! can anyone tell me how the original su carbs linkage is beacuse mine is tie wire. and the valve cover vent going in unmetered after the carb cant be good?
