Hello Everyone,
Looking to upgrade the carb on my inline. Everything is pretty much stock on my car. Currently running the original autolite 1100. The compression on my cylinders isn't all the best ( in the 120 psi range). Feel that a carb upgrade in conjunction with boring out the intake a little will help the engine breathe better. Perhaps it will help get the fuel better distributed to cylinders 1 and 6. The cars been running a little rough lately and hesitating. A good tune up and idle adjustments will certainly help, but I feel that it needs a little more. The whole engine could probably use a good rebuild but not ready for that at the moment. Any advice on a good carburetor to upgrade to would be very appreciated. Also, what is a good size to have the machinist bore out the intake? Planning to head to the swap meet at Carlisle, Pa this weekend and check out their carb selection. Thanks in advance.
