Solution to carb problems

Post by slick4x4 »

One barrel carb engines
Like the 223 or 240
Would be a good home for this

This & a pertronix ignition could turn a 60 year old engine
into the modern world of computers

I read good things about the Holley Sniper System on FE Power forum. I messed with adjusting an earlier system with a laptop. That was the only time I dealt with one but it was fairly easy to adjust.

That is pretty cool, but I could eat the cost of three freshly rebuilt autolites for that price without trading in the cores :dontknow:
'63 F100 223 3OT
‘20 F150 XL
