I recently purchased an Autolite 1100 carb that was used on a '63 Fairlane 170 ci engine. The power vent rod was removed by the owner. He says he has been a mechanic for 46 years and was a Ford tech for twenty something of those years. He claims the power vent rod is not really a necessary piece for the carb. He says many rebuilders remove it and plug the opening on the top of the fuel bowl. Any thoughts or opinions on this? My '62 Fairlane came with the Holley 1909 and I bought the Autolite to see if it performs any better.
Thanks for the help and support.
