Keep at it young un,needs to be running mint for when I come Bananarama!..

Rich me old pal......your a mechanic are you not







Come and sort these carbs son, then I'll take the pair of ya for a ruby and a few jars






You can test her all ya like then son

I would advise completely stripping the Carters and blowing out all the air ways.

I have often found on Carters the accelerator pumps degrade and you get a big bog off idle; so rebuild kits may be in order - the top gasket usually breaks anyway.

BTW - Edelbrock rebuild kits do NOT fit 500 Carters - close but no cigar. You need to get the right kit (that may take some time).

I personally have found that hemis need a lot of timing (I am sure I will get shot down in flames on that one) but it is worth a try.

Change the Plugs, correct heat range,
Is the motor stock, cam etc ?
Was the old Stat stuck open ?
gotta get them carbs base lined as Adam said
and bit more timing after that

Or worse the Cams shagged

No problem mate,I`ll bring my scanner and check out the fault codes for you..

You got an obd socket in there havn`t you???
Never even touched a Carter..
I`m sure Mick would sort them for you though.He may not be in the motor trade any more but I believe he can do anything...

Just lend me the car for a few weeks and I will sort it out for you.

Are you being serious Dave ........

Hell yeah. I would have to stick the glass in the Challenger and bleed the brakes so I can move it out of the garage though.

Right, if me and Mike can't sort her on Saturday she's coming to you son



I'm just getting the carb # to order a pair of rebuild kit's






BTW ....thanks Dave

Dave, Oh Yeah

Well that gives me the kick up the arse I need to get a bit more done on the Chally.

Took a carb off today and turns out they are modern Webers/ Edelbrocks ( based on the old Carters) they look fairly new.



Put 8 new NGKs in and bolted the carb back on......to late to run her up now so see how she run's tomrrow
