Don't feel bad, lately it's real hard to buy quality parts. Everyone is stocking JUNK, and you can no longer judge by price. Used to be you could get 3 quality items, cheap, moderate and expensive, and the quality went with the price, now doesn't matter what you spend, I think they are just boxing the same junk differently to get more money. I have no clue how to find a quality part anymore, it's just a crap shoot. I just sent back a 4 link setup I bought for my '66 F100 because it was absolute crap. And I ordered just the 4 link rods from a different company, flip a coin and reorder if this one is crap.

Eric.

[QUOTE=08'MustangDude;8626078]The fuel jets in the carb could be clogged. It's not funny at all, if the carb is dry.......[/QUOT

Sorry this took so long. But it's worth a "hack". Fuel feeds INTO a carb, as I remember it, through a needle valve controlled by the float, thence right into the fuel bowl. The jets have nothing to do with fuel flowing INTO the carb, if I remember right, which means clogged jets surely would not affect filling the fuel bowl.......Jets limit the amount of fuel flow capability by their hole diameter only under WOT operation. Fuel DOES enter the engine through the jets, which connect with vertical "wells" at the top of which fuel flows "over the hump" and over to the secondary venturis, which pre-atomize the fuel and send it downward to the main venturis, the big bores of the carb. base containing the throttle plates at their base.

Maybe I'm wrong......? imp
