77 B210 Carb rebuild done

[Macdrone]

So, original carb, original gaskets and spacer, all cracked super compressed and leaking, just pouring gas in the intake all the time.  Got the rebuild kit, rebuilt it all but found i was missing 2 needed gaskets and the spacer which was bent and cracked.  They will show up tomorrow.  I should be in real good shape at that point.  I hope dialing in doesnt tax my patience, but we shall see.

 

Also put on some LED 7" bulbs so I can see while driving at night.  I didnt do halos or turn signals, just the lights.  Dark bulbs do change the look of the front for sure.

Well timing was off and the new headlights take more draw, so I may have to upgrade the alternator.

It's a 50 amp alternator. Will be fine if you don't idle with high beams on. But don't let me stop you, I love high output alternators.

Well aparently I unpluged 2 vacuum lines at the back of the manifold, runs like a top with way more power and the idle screw is almost all the way in instead of all the way out when I started the rebuild, so I might get some decent milage now lol.

Just found out my high idle screw is in a bit much, started raining so have to fix it in the light tomorrow.

Hey, anyway to adjust that high idle screw with the carb installed?  Screw in or out to lower the idle?

 

thanks.
