    How to tune the autolite 4300 carb?

    The engine idles rough and only makes decent power around 1500-2000 rpm. It bogs on acceleration from a stop, and is hesitant from hard acceleration from about 1000 rpm. It seems like the engine produces a lot of heat (it is a 390) but the temp gauge is not even half way. Is that fine? What...

    Electrical problem

    I have tested my switches and they are both good. I think that I have narrowed down the problem. I am testing the wires that go to the switches and the power wire still tells me 12 volts. However, it has a very high resistance when tested to a good ground. The ground wire has a “normal” amount...

    Under the hood looks just about like you would expect a car that is almost 30 years old to look. When I get some more money, I will spend it on making things look pretty :D . For now all my effort has been making it mechanically sound. The engine is an all original 390 with a 4-speed manual...

    I purchased a universal kit on e-bay for $20 I think. I had to modify the rear latch a bit to get it to work. I like it a lot more then using the key. I have a button in my glove box as well as a remote. The remote controls the locks too.
