Why??
Don't you have a 9-inch rearend?
A '72 Maverick doesn't have a proportioning valve. That started in '75.
255s will rub the leafsprings and upper frame rail with a 4-1/2" backspace. 4-inch is about ideal.
Looks like you need to start over.
Nice!
For a 235 up front, you're gonna need a 4" backspace.
Are the scoops new as well?
Only 2 or 3. Most of the people I know who run carbs don't have any problems with them. If my help was needed, I would certainly offer it. You...
Well have fun with that. Until you've helped to solve the O.P.'s bogging problem, it's all a bunch of big talk. My bet is that you'll have him...
I guess the people at Holley never studied physics. :rolleyes:
Unfortunately, the only solution is custom headers for a Maverick (expensive). It's sad that no one makes shorty headers that fit a Maverick/Comet...
The word "expert" comes from experience, and in my experience, everything I said is absolute fact. And no it does not start hard in the winter....
Well, if you like your engine to be hard to start on a hot summer day, ethanol is the ticket. And apparently, you've never opened up a carb with...
That's excellent. I'm jealous.
It is a BFD. It is terrible for older fuel systems.
I don't know what "blend" you're referring to. But it's E10 all year-round and not just during Fall & Winter like it was years ago, and no matter...
Nope. It's the same all year-round. 20 years ago the E10 was used between October and February only, but all that has changed. It is done to...
The difficult restarting is due to ethanol in the gasoline. It boils in the fuel bowls and causes flooding when hot. This was never a problem...
Is this a new problem or has it been happening since the carb was first installed? Not only could the accel pump be bad, you may need a different...
