Is this like a physical modification or is it just turning a screw / adjusting
But WAIT..... since you're questioning the validity of any information online this video might not be true...
Yep, it only made sense of you were staying for a while. I never lived somewhere that had over 3,000' elevation change.
You would replace the jets physically with smaller main jets sized for the elevation. Just for information the worst Carb. EVER for offroad , is a Holley 4 barrel.
Even with an offroad needle and seat they suck!
I can't tell you the number of HOURS I spent trying to get a Holley to work Off-Road... And then only to have it fail again on the next outing.
And not to include the wasted money spent on every bandaid they offered next.
I have no off-road carb experience, but I've been around a Holley on the strip. I'm assuming the off-road guys also used the fancy jet extensions and vent tubes.
And a Quadrajet that's totally stock will kick it's ass EVERY time offroad.
So would the Carter AFB's. I ran them over the Quadrajet but again I think it was due to a stereotype I'd gotten put in my head about them.
Did you mean first gen? '55 was the first year for the Fleetside, and that lovely example you posted is a '58 or '59.
The only reason I use a AFB knockoff now , is the cat piss ethanol is absorbed in the nytrofil floats used in a Q-jet , Since the Q-jet was designed to use Gasoline and not Gasohol it can't work as well now. A Q-jet used the newly invented nytrolfil float because it had more bouyency over a brass float. But Gasohol is less dense and the float doesn't float as well. So now a Q-jet runs rich because the float doesn't float as designed. Totally sucks !
Because AI...
But they did a good job on the Charger....
I honestly can't say why it was I just remember calling them Quadrajunk as a kid... And nobody I knew wanted one.
Well , not really , The Cameo came out in 55 , but it was a fiberglass outer cap installed on a step side bed. The first All steel fleetside beds with inner fenders was a 58.
