Surprise inside!!!

[67HEAVEN]

I got some time to pull the carb off the intake today. Fuel has never been through this carb. The butterflies are pristine....the brass screws on the butterflies are as clean as is possible.....and here's the kicker. The primary bowl is as clean as a whistle.

So what gives???? Primary bowl clean as new. Secondary bowl full of white powder???? South America. Should I call in CSI?

Maybe I should call in

:crazy

yep, South American nose candy.......
maybe your parts supplier was just trying to be nice and give you back a little "gift" or "bonus" for all the business and money you have given him over the life of the 67Heaven project.
LOL

and maybe he supplies just a bit more than just car parts.....
he's been kicking himself for months now thinking "where is that damn carb! that one wasn't supposed to go anywhere - it had my stash in it!"

 

[BarryK]

maybe Mac needs to go "sniff" around that parts distributor and investigate a little

LOL

 

[BarryK]

or Mac could NOSE around a bit and see what he finds.........


Sorry Bob and Mac, i just couldn't help myself on this post and the last one

LOL

As long as we're providing entertainment.........that's what really matters. :L

I decided not to snort some right away. Thought I'd just give it a snakey little lick. Tastes like chicken. :gap

Doesn't everything taste like chicken??
:L


if you are a chicken I wonder what things taste like?

More photos inside the secondary bowl.

Like I said earlier, the primary bowl and everything else is spotless. :confused

It's back to the Chevy dealer tomorrow.

Old Murphy is working overtime in Canada. I don't know how you handle it all.
Do you have a punching bag?:L I know you have plenty of music to "tame the beast"
I guess the thunder will have to wait another week to sound.

Maybe I should explain a typical day in the life of the project around here.

Parts don't fit, or wrong parts shipped. Me --->

"Oh Hell", I say to my buddy Doug (Z28Canuck), "Let's hammer them on anyway".

"Calm down", says Doug ----> :nono

So, here I am on the phone to the parts supplier ----> ad

Parts supplier says, "We'll send something else".

Another week or two goes by, then the UPS man swings by again.

What are my neighbours doing all this time? :eek

So, we open another box of beer and suddenly, :bar who cares?

We'll finish it someday.

The patience is just about worn out. Tensions are rising. Music is louder but is losing that calming effect. Starting to see the ol veins on the temple bulging. That redness isn't from sunburn! I thought before you call the supplier think about it calmly and pretend I'm the supplier. What would you say? Wow, that was stupid! The lights went out, I saw stars, I spat out teeth, my ears suddenly started ringing, massive groinal pain, lifted my feet right off the floor, foot stompin all over my head! As I came to and my eyes focused there was Bob and he said "Hey, you're right , I feel better already. Now let's pretend your the guys boss this time!". I'm not stupid twice in 5 minutes so I crawled away as fast as my battered belly could go and called it a night! But hey, be right back there tomorrow though. That's what friends are for!

Seriously, I don't know how he keeps his cool with all this one wave after another. The end goal drives Bob forward but I don't think too many of us could keep going like he has. Keep going buddy.

Must have been some moisture in there or some cleaner that was an oxidizer. My old Holley-in-a-box doesn't have any oxidation on the inside. I doubt you will get anywhere with Holley since it came on the GM engine package but GM Parts should replace it under warranty.

Moreover, depending on the environmental circumstances it is not too farfetched to think that humidity combined with salinity in the air could have caused this - interaction of the metal and the elements..... Even still, I think it warrants an exchange! If you have this much surface perturbation you can guarantee that those vital fuel and air tubes are somewhat blocked. HOLLEYS ARE TEMPERMENTAL!

 

[bossvette]

I see there are no holes in the fenders yet, so how are things going this weekend?

 

[chevyaddict]

Oops, he he, I keep forgetting to see if there is more than one page of post... so sorry for that very "late" reply about the surface stuff on the carb!:t

(sniff... sniff) 67, you said this stuff tastes like chicken but if you ask me, it smells like fish... Where did you get this carb again? :eek :L

Guess I beter go check my new Holley's in the garage.

If you were in the U.S. your solution would be easy. Just call the FBI and tell them you got a package with a supicious white powder on it. I guarantee they would analyze it for you! Actually some of the false anthrax scares have been more ridiculous than that. They called in the feds for some confectioners sugar off a batch of donuts once!

I hate to tell you this but that carb has been running on methanol.

How did they manage to run it through the secondaries only?
