i think its a 81...not to sure, i do have some pictures...

of course loud knocking when i go to start it, i know its old with a 5 at front for kms, but before my friend came over and messed with idle screw i think it was fine...

number 2 i moved gas idle on carb...one of the 2 screws on left side!

so it needs to be reset before i start buying more gas etc....

i was wondering what you guys had in mind for all these screws, 2 adjustments on the left side... then one idle screw on right side, WHICH IT SAYS DONT ADJUST but my stupid friend adjusted it anyways what can i say my fault but id like to try and fix it with your guys help...

thanks for reading...

try again picture... ok there we go... now ya , super old bla bla , i know its got some oil in it, coolant,i think tranny oil is over full but...

any help would do... i know about turning the gas idle screw, one of the 2 on left , i was told screw in all the way then 2 in a half screws out... but theres 2 so which one right...

well if u owned it what would u do to try and fix it, give me play by play that would be awesome, i bought some fast start to!... i put 10 bucks in gas in .... i have a ranger when it runs outta gas 5 bucks doesnt start it, i remember last time i put 20 into this van and it started up so im going to get more gas in a gas can and put it in after a reply...but before i do that id like to see if you guys got a manual picture or something to adjust this carb cause as u see im lost... thanks for reading
oh ya its a v8... and when we took carb off and put it back on, it did start back up...

It has been a long time since I had my van with the 360 2 barrel. If your going for fuel economy your gonna want to put a autolite/motorcraft 2 barrel on it. I found adjusting the timing so it pings a couple times when you floor it and quickly goes away. does the vacuum pull off for the choke not work it goes to manifold vacuum. Hook the vacuum advance to manifold vacuum and time it according to ping. Trial and error get it up to about 35 mph and floor it it should ping slightly. I believe that is a holly/carter carb if you can adapt a autolite 2100 to it you would have better control of the air fuel but a 1.21 venturi with #64 jets would work good if you can adapt it otherwise rebuild that one and figure out how to dial it in float level is real important. once again trial and error depending on engine condition is the only way to dial it in. How old is the timing chain pull the cap off the dizzy and turn the crank back and fourth until the rotor turns both ways you dont want much slop at all timing is critical. Especially before you finish dialing in the carb. GL

found it, got new pics

found the hose...found a carb diagram...

just looking where it goes...i think i found it...got some new pics

 

[vroomvroom]

check it out.... do i hook it to the green circle part?, cause in diagram it says hook to saucer thingy, but saucer on my carb has a plug on end... then under it theres a spot where it looks like it goes, which i circled...

 

[vroomvroom]

lil blurry, but it says and pretty clear, hook to saucer, but if u look at my picture theres a rubber plug on end, but on bottom of that mechinism(cant spell) it seems like it goes to it, what u think

 

[vroomvroom]
