Been driving my jeep daily and with the header dumping the exhause right into the cars next to me I am getting a lot of people unhappy about the puffy black smoke going in their car :)

I don't have time to put on new rings, preferably I'd like to find another buick 225 to rebuild so I can do a quick swap but in the meantime, any tricks to cut down on the black smoke? Maybe I need a elbow to point the exhaust down, atleast for the road anyway

Black smoke = too much gas
White smoke = coolant leak
blue/gray smoke = oil burning.

Are you sure you don't need a carb rebuild?

yea I do :)

Sometimes it leaks when sitting I think cause it is flooded when I start it - just sometimes..

Thinking maybe a different carb would be better. Got tons of power, very happy with that - but it seems to be high maintenance - holley 2bbl

Brandon,

I offered to loan you my holley carb rebuilders book :)

- Dan

yep, gotta get off my lazy butt n go get it :)

Just sick of having my rigs down - like being able to drive it!

Come play at PC this saturday, bring someone that doesn't know how to drive with you ;)
Gonna set up some cones and have some fun. Also gonna plan out a new rock garden at Prarie City..


Easter Fun Run (http://www.rivercityrockcrawlers.com/TrailReports/EasterFunRun/2002.htm)

Why do I need to bring someone who can't drive, don't I qualify :p but I've got family in town this weekend for E-bunny day, and can't make it to PC :(

What model holley is it? I'll try to scan a couple of pages and send them to you.

Bring em along, I do too :)

Sat is my Bday, woohoo

I'll check on the model, thanks :)

I am looking forward to watching someone drive my rig for a change, esp when that someone hasn't driven it before :)

Get yourself a Motorcraft 2100 carb. That's what I ran on both my 231 V6's and never had a problem. Got one of em off a 72 Ford van with a small V8... Very few moving parts and you can even run the engine at idle with the top off the carb. Great for setting float levels. I had mine set at 1/8" below factory setting to minimize starving and flooding when going up and down steep hills. Worked great... :D:D

is it a standard bolt pattern similiar to what the holley 2bbl probably is, or is there an adapter out there?

Glenn - come on out saturday!

Oh yeah, HAPPY BIRFDAY too... :beer: I'm gonna try to make it out to PC Sat. I don't think I can get the wife to drive but I'll try. She's afraid she might break something. :laughing: I think she's just scared of looking bad in front of all us 'Pro's'.. LoL!!! :D:D

She won't be alone, and it won't be too crazy or anything.

tanks :)

You have a 2 or 4 barrel intake??? One of mine had a 2 bbl and it bolted right up. The other was a 4 bbl intake and had an adapter. :rasta:

I think it is a 4 barrel intake but I have an adapter for the 2 barrel holly, should work I guess.

I just talked to Boner and he has a couple of the 2100 carbs and a rebuild kit you can have. He would like his fuel injection documentation back though. :D:D:D Says he'll trade ya. How's that sound???

I'm takin tomorrow off so I'll be around the house. Gotta get started on painting my new garage. :D Call me at 803-6940. I'll see if I can get my hands on one of those carbs and maybe even that rebuild kit so if he's not home, you can still get it. Heck, bring the heep and we'll see if it bolts up... :D:D
