Ive got a 66 Ranchero with the 200 6. I need to rebuild the carb due to a leak and would like to know what i should set the float and the adjustment screws. Also i would like to know what the proper spark plug gap is. Here are the numbers off the tag on the carb:
I can't remember which site has the spark plug / gap info. You may consider doing a Duraspark II upgrade using the blue-grommet igniter box or classicinlines also sells a DUI distributor that uses the 4-pin GM HEI module - and couple either with a Ford TFI ignition coil and you'll have plenty of spark to get a little more HP and torque.
someone already did the duraspark upgrade, i changed the cap and rotor today and it runs pretty good. Do you know if the ignition module is still availiable?
Yeah, Summit Racing sells the blue grommet DSII modules, classicinlines sells a custom module, and I think you can even still get the OEM DSII modules at most auto parts stores.
I found out today that the local parts stores still carry the modules... i had to buy one. It was only 42.00. I was running it this morning and it started to miss, like i was rapidly shutting the key on and off, then it just shut off. No spark. I checked my wiring diagrams and all the connections under the hood and the dash. The connection on the coil was a little corroded so i cleaned that up and still nothing. I checked the reluctor ring and pickup in the distrubutor and it was clean and i did an ohms test on that and the coil and all checked out fine. After i looked at the module i realized the problem... someone at one time or another put a coolant recovery bottle right above the module and it leaked coolant onto it and the plastic potting on the back had shrunk and there was a crack in it and warm coolant wicked onto the circuit board shorting it out. The case was horribly corroded and i got a new oem one and it fired right up!!
