Re: IML: stalling 69

You could also rebuild the holley , and know its the right carb. Most backyard

rebuilds yield less than favorible results, because of short cuts, and rushing through the process. As long as the carb doesn't have major water damage, in the float chambers, it should be a keeper. I've rebuilt countless numbers of Holley, Carters, Rochesters, for marine and automotive use, and only a few could not be saved! Not to mension, the holley can be modified easyer to perform on our crummy gas. Thanks, Dave.

I have a 69 Le Baron 2 dr. I have had carbarator problems. Any ideas?

Remove the Holley carburetor.  Locate the nearest trash receptacle.  Insert the Holly into the trash receptacle.

No joke.

There are a couple of good options for a new carburetor.  The Edelbrock 1406 will bolt right on and be as close to bulletproof as you can find.  Summit Racing has them -- http://tinyurl.com/qlmod -- as does Jeg's -- http://tinyurl.com/pyqh5.  I've ordered carbs from both companies before and both are good places to do business.

Jeg's also offers a Chrysler throttle lever adapter that makes it a snap to mate the throttle linkage up to the new carb -- http://tinyurl.com/nd33w

You'll be amazed at how much better your Imperial runs with a new carburetor.

Good luck!
