I noticed while > we were at Pigeon Forge alot of truck had the carter 4bbl. > I like the carb and it was a pretty good price. I like the Rochester Q-Jet myself, even with the adapter. I don't really understand why the adapter is a detriment, as it directs the secondary flow forward creating turbulence. I would like to hear more about the theory involved if one (or any) of my fellow enthusiasts would care to enlighten me. If you want a square bore my choice in this order is the Carter AFB or Edelbrock clone(my brother-in-law says that they are stingy about the completeness of the setup, so be prepared to adapt)or the Autolite 4100 second only because rebuildable cores and parts are getting pricey, and they like the 2100 will heat soak more than the Carter for some reason. I still like the Q-jet best though. With the problems my engine has(lots of blow-by and loose forged pistons)the tailpipes are burnimg chalky. You can pull it indoors and hardly smell the exhaust, the Holley as lean as I could get it to run would make your eyes water immediately. I don't think any other carb could manage the fuel and air any better. - -- Come on over to my Back Porch http://www.ford-trucks.com//lc/lc.php?action=do&link=http://www.ldd.net/scribers/ballingr Ballinger ballingr = Ford Truck Enthusiasts ============================================== Send posts to: 61-79-list Send unsubscribe requests to: majordomo "unsubscribe 61-79-list" in the message body. ======================================================================= ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 20 May 1998 01:16:52 -0500 From: ballingr Subject: FTE 61-79 - Stu Stu,....
