Like Bill says, remove the fresh air duct and the tank will come out. It's not a smooth removal but it will come out. Same going in. Jim

As long as it dosn't ping regular should be fine.

No. Not Me. I wanted to but it was too far away for me to get to in time. Jim

Lube or change the cable for the jumping.

Just the fact that you are original owner of a 44 year old car is pretty cool :cool

I have 245/60/15 on my '78 and I think that's about the largest it will take. The fronts rub slightly at wheel lock, not enough to damage anything but it leaves a mark. Jim

I had the same thing happen to me after I replaced my dash. It ended up beeing the circuit film on the spedo/tach set. The 2 indicator lights were shorted together so both flashed and both front lights flashed but only the one rear. Hope this helps Jim

:upthumbs Me too

Get one from a '78. It should fit. Jim

e-bay get a old carb off e-bay and use the rods from it. Jim

Andy The link will not work without a password so I can not see your pictures. As for the puller I have used one from Lisle Corporation #45000 on my '78 and it worked for me. Good luck Jim

What would cause a Catalytic Converter to get red hot? I was just out in the garage adjusting my choke and I let the car idle until it got warm enough to open the choke. I noticed a burning smell and got down and looked under the car and the Catalytic Converter was glowing red. Is it going...

John Thanks for the reply I don’t think I am using the fuel filter with the check valve. I think it is a simple paper element. Is this a special filter? I got the one I am using at Napa the same time I got the rebuild kit, just got what they gave me. Should they know what I am asking for if I...

This is Vet weather time for me. It is too hot in the Summertime past about 10:00 am or so (my A/C can’t keep up). Last night the low was 51 and tonight it is suppose to be around 50 or so. We do get freezing a few times a year. I put more miles on the car between September and May then the rest...

Thanks Pete I think I will try another pump next week Jim

No shot of gas. It looks like the Carburetor is dry also. I guess I need to pull it off again and reseal the well plugs again. I am just not sure it is all Carburetor related. After I tested with the other Carburetor (engine just running and fuel line full of gas) I put mine back on (it had no...

Thanks for the replies. The choke is working fine. I used JB-Weld on the well plugs when I rebuilt it. It starts fine once it gets gas and will start fine all day long even when hot. Once it has started for the day all it takes is one pump on the gas pedal and it starts so quick I don’t even...

After my car has been sitting overnight I need to crank the engine for about a minute or longer before it gets gas and starts. I rebuilt the carburetor, replaced the fuel pump, replaced the rubber fuel hoses at the pump and tank and it still does it. I borrowed a carburetor from a friend and...

Tom If you don't remove them you will be able to see them under the new paint. If they are stick on stripes try heating with a blow dryer, this will loosen the glue then pull them off. Good luck Jim
