Happy holidays everyone!
I believe I have the answer to this but I was wondering if someone can
verify this for me. I started my Imperial last week after sitting for
awhile. It started fine and did its usual crappy idle which is caused by
the ancient carb base gasket that I never replaced after I rebuilt the
Holley. So I decided to replace that and noticed that mice chewed-up my
plug wires : ( So a few days later I replaced the wires and the gasket and
it won't....start :( I replaced the wires one-by-one so as not to
mess-up. But non-the-less I triple checked 'em. On the third checking, I
busted out my 1972 Motor's Auto Repair Manual with the idiot proof plug
wire diagram ( so help me God if it is the wires). So, I am left with the
carb gasket and my theory is this: Since the base gasket leaked I had to
compensate by running rich and now that I have proper amounts of air; it
is way to rich and belches flames. It actually started for about two
seconds and idled real high. But I keep getting flames out the carb every
time I try to start her : (
Burpin' fire,
