The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop Dual Carter-Weber's on a 235

I'm laughing out loud as the whole experience has been tatooed into my brain.

Ron, all of us respect the 'long distance driver' and your experience of driving that great truck of yours round trip from Indiana to Maryland had us all thinking about the adventure. Like fingerprints and faces our trucks share our uniqueness and yours is very special, created just the way you want it, although your 'road kill guard' might be a good idea.

Sweet, you nailed it with the clothespins, they've been off and on the fuel lines over the exhaust manifold for years. The key to getting those carbs to settle down and idle right was the replacement of the manifold gasket to eliminate the vaccum leak. Think of it this way...the original manifold had one footprint mating to the head, we then introduced the Edelbrock with a new footprint and the gasket now worn with the memory of the first would not sufficiently seal for the new.

As for meeting a fellow Stovebolter I can only say that your life will become even more enriched and you will understand yourself and your goal and purpose with your truck just a little bit better. As president of the ODSS I am a very lucky man indeed.

Regards,

Cosmo
