Hey everyone,
I'm new to the board but not new to Fords or working on anything. Just new to the Sixes. I have a '73 Comet with a 250. It has the engineering marvel RBS carb on it. I guess I should start by saying that the car has 8300 miles on it and that's original. So needless to say it sat for a long time. I rebuilt the carb and it seemed to run much bettter. I can't get the thing to idle smoothly. I timed it and ended up with 12 degrees which took away the hesitiation it had on initial accelelration. The idle is still rough. So my questions are;
Was there ever a 1v Holley direct replacement?
What can I do to the carb on it to make it idle/run better?
Is there an "easy" 2 v conversion? I have looked into this a bit and I get conflicting stories about fitment, linkage issues, and on the Mavericks/Comets there is a height issue with the curent adapters available. Any way around all of his? I really want some thing easy and effective that fits.
Any and all help will be great!
Jon
