    70 302 starts, but won't idle :(

    Update time! I tried the carb cleaner method, but I didn't notice any change in idle when I sprayed around the carb and lines. I do have a carb spacer that I didn't replace, so I figured it would be a good idea to check that gasket visually. The gasket looked fine, with no evidence of...

    Cracked fuel bowl?

    Hi all! I'm attempting a carb rebuild on my Edelbrock 1406 for my 70 Mustang. I suspected the carb was dirty because the car was running rich, the idle mixture screws seemed to do nothing, and I wasn't able to get the idle down below 2500-3000 RPM. After disassembling the carb, it was...
