You can but as the engine warms up it'll increase RPM's and require a kick down to the lower speed notches until the choke is completely off,(on mine there's high idle where it starts, then two notches below that. To start off just screw it in a couple turns and go from there, when it first starts the choke should be completely closed then open up to about where it is, makes me think that the new rod is too short haha. Actually, just look up Edelbrock 1406 owners manual online and it tells you exactly how to adjust it lol.

Oh i see, yeah i have adjusted that before but not recently. It won't be too hard.
So i am now $850 richer, i sold my blue ranger down at the 76 pitstop place. Some lady and her father came to look at it and after poking around for half an hour or so she said she liked it and we started the paper work. I am almost sad to see it go and will miss driving it but that just means now i don't have to keep worrying about it. I bought it for 800 dumped around 1k into it over time and sold it for 850. I would say i did good.

Haha real funny. My tank is first :P But in all seriousness i do have to not spend a lot. Now that i have this money i need to either look for another car or wait till i get a regular job and start looking more. I really want a VW Bug to replace it, even if they are underpowered i have always liked them. Now that the ranger is gone i can focus on other stuff.

Possibly. I do plan to get the fuel tank either full or almost full for this winter. Then maybe throw some rubbing alcohol in to mix with the water. Last year we had a power outage for 6 hours and i almost ran out of gas in traffic on my way to find an open station. Having my mom and little sister flipping out didn't help either.

Oh also forgot to mention, i think the carb may either be a bit rich or the timing is a bit advanced cause there was a few times it was backfiring through the carb i think when i would let off the gas. I think i need to re-tune and re-time it some day, along with removing the rear wheels and adjusting the brakes so they work properly.
EDIT:
Oh never mind then, i haven't seen it. There is one on CL going for 1k but it was hit really hard in the front. I wish i could ge it to fix it but i don't know enough about body work to fix that kind of damage.
