Alright 200 guys I need some input. I've put a 250 in my wife's 69 falcon. I put a holley 200 carb on it because it looked clean. Once it got some fuel it was weeping out of the base gasket and it won't squirt any fuel when I cracked the throttle. So I'm torn on what route to go.
1. Rebuild this carb and hope for the best to get the engine running but I don't know when the last time it ran was.
2. See if advance can get a carb.
3.?
I don't have my 200 6 cylinder performance book with me so I don't remember what the recommended carb is. So far all the 250 carbs I've seen are cable operated so those are out since my falcon has all the throttle linkage. If I replace my carb what carb should I look for? This is my wife's car, so all it has to do is drive. She drives a hot rod the same as a stock 6 cylinder so I just want an easy starting smooth running set up. The only last thing is the shorter the carb the better. The 250 sits 1.5 inches higher so I'm fighting air cleaner to hood clearance.
Any input guys?
