- Install time! Today the Polara got the new 2bbl BBD carb I purchased from an online auction site and I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. It was cheaper than a rebuild kit, and doesn't have 70,000 miles on it nor is it 50 years old! This will certainly chirp the tyres.......
What a beautiful old Polara. 1967-68 fast top C-bodies are some of my favourite cars. This one reminds me of my '68 Fury VIP. Love the LA318s.
I had a Chinese Carburetor in my truck ran OK It wasn't the same as the original ended up rebuilding the original one several months later big difference in performance hopefully you have better luck than me I would still save the old carburetor In case you have to rebuild original is always better.
You had better luck than me. I tried one of those Ali Express BBD copies and ended up with an engine that was half rich and half lean at the same time. There was nothing keeping the mixture needle assembly level so it would cant sideways and bury half the engine in fuel while starving the other half
Sorry to hear that Karl. I hope I have the same luck as last time as I've just bought another one for the '65 Coronet I'm doing now 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Hello mate. I have a '74 stepside Dodge with a 318, and it has that factory electrical ignition. When setting the timing, is it supposed to be set at around 8 - 10 degrees Before Top Dead Center with the timing light, or at 0 degrees? I cant find any definite information on this. Of course, I disconnected the vacuum line to the distributor and plugged the stub at the carb while setting the timing.......but which one, 8-10 BTC, or 0? Good day mate.
@@crazeyspivey I wouldn't go 0 mate, I'd go 8-10°. Start it, run it until warm then adjust as necessary. You may need more advance or less due to wear and tear on the engine. 8-10° is a ball park figure, but I wouldn't go 0°. Hope it helps 😃👍🏻 SGG
@@SortedGeorgeGarage Hey mate.....I agree with you, but why do reference material state "0" degree? Is the electronic ignition system of the early 70s supposed to be smart enough to advance the timing properly?
No nothing like that. The electronic ignition only gets rid of the points so gives you a more reliable spark all the time. There's no electronic advance system like nowadays, there's only the vacuum advance from the canister still. Some timing lights you can dial the advance in, so you'd then set the advance on the light at say 10°, then line up the flash to the line on the pulley at 0° and there's your 10°. Hope it helps.
@@SortedGeorgeGarage Otay Buckwheat, I will leave her at around 9 degrees BTC. When I take off real hard, put my foot into the pedal, there was a little clingy-clangy-clang noise, like pre-ignition going on......does that mean that I still need to increase the timing to say 12 degrees BTDC? I do not use the cheap Ethanol gas......only non-ethanol with Marvel Mystery Oil and a dab of Stabil.
Yes bud, you'll have to still mess with it a little. Best way I find is to put it in to D, foot hard on the brake, then floor it. Same result as driving it hard with the medal to the metal. Just do that and adjust until the pinking goes 😃👍🏻
hello a friend of mine gave me a carter bbd 2 barril and on the top it has a plastic vent tube and i dont know what that is ......my old carb 1970 did not have a vent tube ......do i plug it or do i leave it open to breath , thanx
See how it runs unplugged, then plugged. If it's on the very top I would have thought it would be a vent....
@@SortedGeorgeGarage i found out its a vent that goes into a charcoal canister but i dont have a charcoal can my car is 1970 with a 318 a plymouth fury convertible ...
Hey George, thanks for the video. What would it mean if the car stumbles while in gear? What should I be checking to fix?
Check timing 1st and foremost. Make sure you have no vacuum leaks. Check out my video on wiring and tune up (2nd half is tune up), it may help. Is it a standard engine or does it have a mild cam..... could be a number of things Tom. Hope you find your answer. All the best and thanks for watching, Jules 👍🏻
Mines doing the same thing. Stumbled and stalls when shifting in gear
Is it the maxpeedingrods carb?
MaxSpeedingRods were the supplier. Not sure who manufactured it, sorry.
What's the difference between this and the lowtop bbd?
Not a clue sorry 🫣
Not a clue sorry 🫣
hello i'm from brazil, i would like to know the make and model of the carburetor and how many cfm does he have too
That is a Chinese copy of the Carter BBD. The Carter was rated at 300 CFM.
Hello, I follow your channel and I have a question: What order in the current distribution has the configuration in your motor. 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2 is correct?
Yes that's correct, the firing order is 1-8-4-3-6-5-7-2
The small blocks' distributor rotation is clockwise, the big blocks' distributor rotation is counter clockwise, but the firing order is the same. Hope it helps HuQ and thanks for watching my channel 👍
@@SortedGeorgeGarage
it's me again: 1,8,4,3,6,5,7,2 installed, now when starting the engine, it makes a connection but it can't start. my question: correct connection, it has fuel, it makes contact. what is the problem?
Givme helpme thans brother ☆
@@xInfiernox277 Make sure you have spark, and fuel, and make sure you are not 180* out on the distributor. When you know you have all 3 ok, try loosening the distributor at the clamp and turn the distributor slowly clockwise/counter clockwise by hand whilst cranking. If your timing is off this may help to fire it up. Also make sure your mixture screws on the carb are turned 1.5 full turns out from the closed position (fully screwed in but barely touching the base). This 1.5 turns out is a standard baseline for getting the carb running before you do a fine tune. Hope it helps.....
awesome!
I bought the same carburetor for my Duster.
These cheap Chinese knock offs main fall back as far as I have found is the throttle shaft fits very loose which causes a vacuum Leak. If one was to buy a throttle shaft bushing kit and correct that they would work alot better. Also the float setting is always off and needs set prior to install.
I always double check the float setting before install mate. Had no trouble with this carb though 👍🏻
Bushings kit. That's good information. I was hoping to see linkage set up. I'm helping a young man with his 67 Barracuda 273 cu. And it looks like someone use a screen door spring.
I subscribe to your channel.
Thankyou 👍🏻👍🏻
