ArdWrknTrk Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 The correct air filter should have a heat duct and vacuum motor. The sensor is inside the air cleaner. Thermal vacuum valves, used to be virtually everyone had them. I had a bunch of them, but I am afraid they didn't follow me to the Eastern Shore. On your flooding issue, you say you have the EGR spacer, how thick is the gasket under the carburetor? Second, heat riser valve, is it working? If not is it stuck in the heat position? Only flooding hot sounds like you may be boiling the fuel in the carburetor. There's good reason manufacturers went to the trouble and expense of engineering and equipping vehicles with these systems. It's the only way they could get a carbureted engine to deliver consistent mixtures. And even if you don't have or want to meet federal emissions standards, having a stable A:F is key to smooth operation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m having another pair of eyes look at carb. The exhaust manifold and heat riser valve is new. I will have to remove heat shield to check it. On my checklist. The sensor and vacuum motor needs to be checked also. Thanks for your help Bill. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m just trying to work with what I have. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think how many air cleaners were tossed in the trash for a 'performance' tin lid with 'improved airflow' back then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To think how many air cleaners were tossed in the trash for a 'performance' tin lid with 'improved airflow' back then. Didn’t take it that way Jim. I have the original air cleaner, just need to make sure all parts work and a source if they don’t. I welcome your comments. Thanks CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I welcome your comments. Thanks CJ It's always a concern. Especially over the Internet when there is no inflection or nuance. As someone who only thinks in facts and has no filter I can easily offend people without even trying (the joys of being an aspie:nabble_smiley_teeth:) The vacuum motor for the flap and thermal switch (CWM) are much easier to find by their Motorcraft numbers than by the Ford P/N. Let's see if we can get your proper parts diagram and listing from the MPC. CJ. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SAD… My wife claims I have no filter, so that makes us somewhat alike. Thanks again for your help. CJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
