So it smells rich, though you passed smog? How fast is your idle?

Correct one is 17081218 auto and 17081217 manual. How did you pass smog in Ca with non correct carb? Any engine mods, like heads, cam, exhaust? I have an OEM equipped 81 and want too know what I can improve and still pass smog equip and tailpipe gases.

It has been too long ago, when I changed them to remember the brand. The fronts were perfect size and connector. the rears where a little thick, but some creative fitting got em in. Go to a car stereo specialty shop, they will have what you want.

I don't know why the dash lights would pop a fuse. Your description of the main line to FB and what happened is sketchy. So whacking the starter will make the motor quit back firing?

Yes BB springs are "stronger" Try loosening the bolts that go thru the upper/lower a frame bushings and retighten when car "settles" Note to people replacing a frame bushings leave the bolts loose untill car is off jacks and sitting on its own weight. Hope this helps
