Finally I get to watch him suffer like how I suffer. I had stopped watching his show because it had stopped being relatable.
I'm about an hour in. I hope he doesn't leave to rot in a field like all his other cars
I use ethanol free gas. The carb is just old and dirty. Idk if it's original but it's definitely a factory carb. The car didn't go anywhere all winter. I've only had it out twice. Berryman's B-12 is what I used. I fogged it down with the spray, then went after every orifice with the little...
I took my Dip out today and it started doing something similar. Sputtering and stalling while stopped in drive. So i hosed the carb with B-12. For awhile. Then let it soak in. Then ran the thing while holding the throttle open and hosing it down.
Fixed. Maybe your carb is just gummed up
Yeah I'd gauge it before trying to remove it. It could be a huge waste of time trying to sand it or melt it off only to find the bar is machined wrong.
Edit: or just knick it with a razor blade and see how thick it seems

if you don't convert to B body shock plates, you'll have to source 5 leaf ISO brackets (good luck!) or put spacers on your 4 leaf brackets
Powder coating is usually in mils, which is like thousandths of an inch. It would be absolutely hilarious if instead of a .002 thick coating someone put down a .02 thick coating. That almost seems impossible
I'm no expert, and it is very hard to diagnose anything over the internet, but it looks like only half the conversion from the lean burn was done. That old carb isn't helping anything. You can get a cheap 2bbl carb and see if that solves the problem.
Check for any vacuum leaks. Check all your...
I'm probably the only one here who is too lazy to switch over from the lean burn/spark control computer. I also have an 87. Right off the bat I can see that the carburetor is different from mine. I'm assuming that's because it was a Canadian or export model.
When I was digging into replacing...
There's a two hundredths of an inch difference? That's enough for a machine shop to take off. I know it won't go in a regular lathe but there are all kinds of mills that could make it happen. I wouldn't think it would be the powder coat. That would be an obnoxious thickness for powder coating...
