Hello all,
I have a 1966 200 with 69 head, 68 dizzy(dual advance)/ autolite 1100 (no SCV) Clay smith 264/264 @108, base timing at 13*
the throttle linkage is not holding the throttle plate closed on the 1100/ I used a spring for a seat track to have enough pull to hold the plate in the fully closed position. With that the idle set screw seems to be too short to get the idle correct? there is slop/plat between the shaft for the throttle plate and lever to the linkage?
I am having dificulties with my 1100 and have decided to get a rebuilt holley 1940. I got a good price on the 1940 from a local builder and hope to have it next week for installation.
The 1100 has a problem of continuing to flood from the overflow pipe. I have set the float a hair lower than spec to try to stem the problem. I checked the brass float for leaks in hot water before installation, no tiny bubbles observed. The plastic arm that controlls the overflow from the accel. pump has a broken tab and does not stay on at times. the housing was hammered shut so I cant remove the broken plastic rod.
I put a .69 jet in the 1100 instead of the .54 jet it had
I'm getting the holly/ motorcraft 1940 after talking to the guy at the carb shop. I'm keeping the autolite too, but I want to ue the easiest carb for the car.
I'm looking for any input for the 1940 for set up and any input on the throttle linkage. Once I get the 1940 I'll fill in the blanks for the exact specs.
Wes
