1973 to 1985 Carburated Vehicles
Emissions laden vehicles, but still simple enough to work on and we still love 'em!

Thanks guys! I'm going to undertake this soon. The motor's been sitting for about 6 years with the CCV breather off... Think I need to rebuild the motor or just try it? I guess I could pull the VC and just clean up any dust/cobwebs in there. It's not locked up. I know that.

Clean the cobwebs ,fresh oil and fuel and let her rip.That afb is pretty simple,after rebuild turn your air/fuel mixture screwss all the way in and then two and a quarter back out.Thats rule of thumb base setting.Adjust from there.What vehicle/motor is this going on?

Do what everyone said plus take pictures as you take it apart, because the dog could come in, or one of the kids just might say Daddy, what's this????

Things that can make a big man cry.

I used to rebuild automatic transmissions. I have certain ones down to a fine art. I had a guy add an extra check ball one time to my pile for a 4L60E......

It was hard not to call him on it before I even began putting the bottom side together. It was that obvious just sticking to the magnet. That's sad.

I have heard other stories of guys adding extra carburetor parts to a rebuild being performed by someone else.......vicious.
