Re: I6 jeep Engine swap to 350 NEEED HELP PLEASE!!!
You reminded me of the old Ford VV (variable venturi) carbs. What a
nightmare they were.

Re: I6 jeep Engine swap to 350 NEEED HELP PLEASE!!!
A friend's grandfather stacked carburetor adapters from J. C. Whitney on the
intake manifold of his Chrysler Imperial, and got more than 20 mpg from a
one barrel carburetor. This was in the early seventies, when the Arabs were
first getting kranky about the prices they were being paid for petroleum.
I am told that if I replace the carburetor in my wife's FJ-40 with fuel
injection from a 4.3 liter Chevy, I should get that much, and not bad
performance either. Seventies era carburetors were pretty bad, as I
remember, because they were first starting to be choked with emissions
controls, and because fuel was still relatively cheap.

Hi Earle,
Driving barefoot, helps us feel what we are doing the carburetor.
Having smaller venturi does help mix the gas, like the puny
primaries of a Quadrajet:
