Yeah, that's pretty much it. I push in the choke as soon as the engine warms up. Runs fine till I have to slow down fast, usually in gear. No vacuum hose connected to the bypass valve built into the snout on the stock aircleaner, so I don't get much heat piped in from the manifold. Could the carb be...

Carb newbie - Mcraft/Aolite 2100 series

Hello again, I am having problems with the carb in my '66 longbed. It has a newly rebuilt 302 and a rebuilt Autolite 2100 sits atop. I rigged it to work with a manual choke because the electric one was sticking. For cold start I have to pull on about 1/2" of manual choke. Carb seems to idle OK ...

Manual transmission - oil or gear lube?

Hi, I am working on a '66 longbed with the Warner T-18 four speed. AFAIK this has never been worked on. I plan to drain about a quart of oil out, then refill it with kerosene. Then you jack up (and securely block) the back end, pull the wheels off, and then run through the gears. This is supposed to...
