Where did you get that headliner? Was it generic or custom?

flamingbig10 · 07-17-2009, 07:46 PM

Congrats on another trophy man! They are just starting to pile up now!

flamingbig10 · 07-22-2009, 12:37 AM

thanks john, maybe I'll bring another one home this weekend

flamingbig10 · 07-22-2009, 12:46 AM

I finally got fed up with my junky reman quadra jet one day it will run like a wild beast and it will start up easy with out pumping the gas the next day it will only start quick if i pump the gas and then I'll have to let it warm up for about a minute, when I drive it, it will spit, so I plan on putting a edle broc 1406 600cfm with electric choke

silvrbreez · 07-22-2009, 07:25 AM

Sounds like a nice swap over. I'm running that carb on my high mileage, stock, unbuilt 350 and it starts up and runs like a champ. Does wonders for this old engine.

JohnC · 07-22-2009, 07:38 AM

Yeah that's the carb I'm going to run on my new engine. I've heard a lot of good things about it. I think you'll really enjoy the swap.

flamingbig10 · 07-22-2009, 03:26 PM

went ahead and bought the carb today I think it will be a well spent $300 also wile I'm at I'm going add a new throttle cable

flamingbig10 · 07-22-2009, 11:40 PM

well got the old carb off, Tomorrow I'll install new carb if I can get new studs, fuel line that run off the carb to the fuel filter, and a heat spacer

menace121978 · 07-23-2009, 12:15 AM

good investment... you will def. be happy with it!!

flamingbig10 · 07-24-2009, 12:27 AM

well got the truck started, but I 'll to start over because I forgot to get a fitting to run the power brake vacuum hose, and the mounting studs I bought are to long

JohnC · 07-24-2009, 08:17 AM

Keep us updated man. I'm sure you'll like the new carb.

flamingbig10 · 07-25-2009, 01:35 AM

the new carb sure does look nice and sure start a lot easier , but I'll need to find a new throttle cable though because mines broke, hope I can find one before Tomorrow evening, car show

JohnC · 07-25-2009, 02:22 PM

Are you making room for another trophy too?

flamingbig10 · 07-28-2009, 11:02 PM

I was going to enter in the show but it didn't end after midnight and was afraid to drive that late with new carb, but I did drive the truck there and looked around for a couple of hours there was close to 200 cars

flamingbig10 · 07-28-2009, 11:22 PM

flamingbig10 · 07-29-2009, 12:40 AM

carb is simple to remove, unhook the fuel line, vacuum lines, cables, and the remove the 4 bolts or nuts and gently pull it off and wrap it up in a towel to keep the dirt out
