BeagleRock Posted March 25, 2018 Author Share Posted March 25, 2018 I'd not personally gone through that carb, and if Dad did it was years and years ago. But you are making good progress. Indeed I am making progress! Noticed that the Jets in your Dad's old carb were #42 isn't that rather small being as though from reading some factory specs that they were #56 stock? I've never changed jets on the old 2100 autolite or any other I've tinkered with so don't really know how they affect performance. I was just wondering Thanks Randy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The catalog says that carb was probably E1TE-BGA and would have come from the factory with 53's in it. Is there a tag on it? I know that they had to jet the carbs richer to compensate for the exhaust gas that came in via the EGR valve, so it is reasonable to jet them leaner w/o EGR - which had been taken off of Dad's engine at some point. But down to 42's?!?! That seems extreme. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But down to 42's?!?! That seems extreme.Kinda what I was thinking although as said previously, I know nothing about jetting, only what I've read. Everything I've gotten my hands on says #56 but could go to #52 at altitude etc. But nothing in the 40s.I thought it was for gas mileage because she'll barely turn the tires over with nothing in the bed. Not much power but consistent and it never dies on me like the the King of Carbs did, about got me t-boned more than once. Anyway I'll talk to you later on sometime and thanks for respondingRandy Sent from AOL Mobile Mail On Sunday, March 25, 2018 Gary Lewis [via Bullnose Enthusiasts] <redacted_email_address> wrote:Wow! 42?

85lebaront2 Posted March 25, 2018 Share Posted March 25, 2018 Look on the side of the driver's side front mounting ear, if it hasn't been through a rebuilder the E1TE-xxx will be stamped there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
