How I fixed the hood clearance problem in the 71-
I was having unussually rich problems, no matter what I did and it ended up being the top of the primary choke air horm was too close to the top of of the air cleaner top, causing as " choke effect" So I cut the bitch off! heres a photo. http://www.angelfire.com/theforce/mx...l_carb_IMG.JPG

I can imagine that cold starts up there in New Jersey are going to be a bit of a challenge with no choke. :eek: Should fix the clearance problem though.....

So you've quit driving it already until next spring? I'm still trying to get mine on the road and finish up the 2002-2003 Winter Project :eek:

No, Im still driving it untill end of nov. when the drag racing ends! Sometimes
we take it out on a nice winter day, but, the benifit of the choke as oppossed to a new hood did not make sense!

Not so good-
13.80 at 102 mph- but I found 2 gallons of water in my gas tank and also my air cleaner top was too close to the top of the choke air horn- now that is gone! This car should run low to high 12s. mn jack if you are into going next weekend give me a call @ 908-337-3291 or email @ lcarrar@optonline.net
