ArdWrknTrk Posted December 25, 2022 Share Posted December 25, 2022 Jim, electric choke? Both are electric choke, and both were functioning when they got shelved. Which is your preference, Holley or Edelbrock? Let me shoot you an email since we don't have PM's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86 12 Brutus Posted December 25, 2022 Author Share Posted December 25, 2022 Holley I ended up sending nick out in the freezing cold to pull that 2150, i was , well still am, going to re jet it I found the problem, i think. The gasket on the bottom is completely blown out and the whole 1 side is full of carbon. This kind of sucks in a way. With the ranchero, just like Brutus, I think i did some stuff backwards. I rebuilt that carb and gave the engine a tune up before we parked it. Sitting parked for 5 years, i can understand some stuff going bad. All my spark plug wires went bad ( dry rot ) I could imagine what i'm going to find inside that carb. Gary. I understand now what you are talking about by polishing, makes sense. I'm going to give it a try, i'm still going to rebuild it, the intake i found isnt in stock until next week and we really really really want to finally drive this thing, after 5 years. I know it's off topic, but if you had this, wouldn't you want to drive it, LOL. Merry Christmas yall Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jim, do you remember if either of the carbs have the Ford accelerator adaptor? I'm going to abandon the 2150 and wait to get one of the carbs from you. the 2150 needs to much, a carb kit, and it uses the expensive one, and new jets. I can take those bucks and put it toward the new intake. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neither have a transmission kickdown arm, but easily available from Holley or Edelbrock Spending Christmas with family. I will email you photos of both when I get back.
