v6 carb problems
My '62 has had a "flat" spot in the powerband about 200-300 RPM above idle.
So today I tried to adjust the 2 screws on the bottom of the carb. Didn't work out too good. Now it will idle but when I open the throttle it will bog down and not accelarate. I never could get it back to pre-adjustment operation. I've also got gas leaking from the rod on the front, top of the carb. (See pic #2) In other words I screwed up  So I decided to get a rebuild kit and start over. The only kit I can find listed for my truck is a Stromberg. Question #1. Can someone I.D. this carb for me? #23-133 on top front. Question #2. What is the starting point for adjustment? Example tighten screw, then rotate counterclockwise 2 turns, then fine tune. Thanks in advance, Todd
