Re: [AMC-list] carburetor rebuild time

["Armand Eshleman" <aje1@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Ken,

Thanks for the response.

That certainly puts my mind at ease. I was hoping for around 500 cfm.
I'm pretty sure the 304 isn't going to be seeing much 5600 rpm runs, but I'm
thinking the primaries are a tad bit smaller than the FOMOCO 2bbl that came
stock, which may improve the fuel mileage some and still provide me with
additional passing power.
It's interesting, I purchased a rebuild kit for the carburetor, and all the
correct pieces are there. I suppose most AFB's are very similar, anyway
similar enough that a universal carb kit can be produced for almost all
models.

I'm still hoping some one has helpful answers to my other questions and
suggestions for me about all the tubes and openings that need to be dealt
with.

I left the questions attached to this message in case anyone else can help

Thanks,

Armand
