Time for a new Carb(advice needed)

[1987cp]

sounding like an EDL-14064, then ..... :p

[Archangel]

well, to tease you a bit more, I'll tell you that it does have a chrome-like finish.

haha, that achieves the opposite effect - now I'm sitting here laughing and the image of you rubbing and scrubing half the engine bay so the shiney carb don't look completely outta place - enjoy yer new maid job

[Mr. Land Yacht]

screw you!

well, since my entire motor is freshly painted...it wont be out of place

and no, it's not that particular Edelbrock Carb...

[Chachi]

" it's not that particular Edelbrock Carb..."
so it is an Edelbrock Carb...?

Quit being a cock tease.

Tell us! That's a direct order, soldier!

[torquelover]

I got it. You ordered 8 Weber Downdrafts to keep you busy all winter.

[Mr. Land Yacht]

no

Sorry...I must stand my ground on this one...umm..Sir.
you only got to wait about 26 hours...

I will have the specs and pics of the Carb posted as of 2300 hours Sir.


*I'm gonna get Court-Martialed for this, I know it *

lol, what happens if you get a bad response on teh carb you got? such as "you idiot, that will(enter problem here) you idiot!!! "and it was cause you didnt want to tell us what it was? that would suck..

I think it's a one-barrel Zenith-Stromberg that's been chromed.

[Nathan in MI]

Probably stole the carb off his push lawnmower. 1bbl Tillotson ftw!

[Mr. Land Yacht]

:lol:

well...since its my car and I bought the Carb..I dont think I would care if some people said along the lines of what u posted Dave.


ok..you foudn me out...I got a 1bbl...but I took it from an old 4cyl Tempo...the guy I bought it from jetted it and made it put out 600cfm..so, it will work..and fuel mpg will go up since it's only a 1bbl.
good decision, huh?

Funny, since I'm pretty sure Escorts used a 2-barrel "Arrow" carburetor set up like a four-barrel, with one primary bore and one secondary. Kind of makes a person want to whittle up a 3-barrel or something, kind of like 3 Strombergs with a progressive linkage, but smaller and easy to tune.

Edit: not sure where I got the name "Arrow", maybe it was a carb rebuilder back in the early '90s. Here's the animal I was talking about: http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/NEW-8...spagenameZWDVW

Not really, if the flow was like 150cfm the it could work well till about 2000rpms, but with 600cfm even if it's 1/2-bbl the mpg will be more like gpm :p
