Poor gas mpg

["Mike and Cindy Becker" <mbecker30@xxxxxxxxx>]

 I have 2 imperials,  They are my favorites.I look forward to reading the list everyday.I believe making comparisons of imperials to other makes of cars to illustrate some historical point or maintenance issue  is both appropriate, useful and interesting. There are threads  on this list of which I have little interest, I simply don't read them. But other people probably find them very interesting. it bothers me that some on this list feel the need to exclude so much information, and in my opinion detracts from the list as whole.

Unvaryingly  I like and appreciate all makes of cars, and not just Chrysler and seance that's my feeling. I believe, I may be in the wrong "group or club" !

In that case I feel I also need to resign my membership. Good luck to the Impcop's  ROY= 1957 Crown Imperial Convt.

To help people understand and clarify on topic and off topic items.
Carter carbs are universal to most makes of cars. It is very simple to
talk about Carter Carb's in a generic sense without starting a thread
about how my Chevy does this and how my Ford is better than my Chevy,
etc. Get the drift? If not, don't post until you are sure what list you
are on.

Most all Crater use the same type and but different sizes, what
I've done over the years is buy junk looking ones at a swap meet
for a couple of dollars just to get the rods but have used them or
given them out. I could mention how to adjust your's or check them
, but was informed that I cant use another make of car to explain
or compare with. As I did last time mentioning the word corvette
Op sorry. Chrysler only.

Roy, you don't happen to know where you find other metering rods

to try do you?

I thought to mention beside the rear end gears, to think about
what your CARTER AFB metering rods size is! Owners that are
second or third owners of their car need to wonder if the carb
ever was rebuilt and if so were the right metering rods
reinstalled in THAT carb. You need to understand that two brass
metering rods are lifted out of the fuel jet HOLES as you step
on the gas and has to be correct for performance. The jet holes
that the metering rods go through are stander size for that
carb, but the rod thickness depend on engine size and HP. Think
of it this way , if the jet hole is always the same size .A
thinner rod increases fuel flow 1. ( to much -fouling plugs,dark
smoke car can feel like it lugging and can Diesel do to carbon
build up) .To thick a rod ( plugs run hot, engine runing
hotter,no power, pinging, stuttering) I found my 57 doing the
second. like the three bears you need to try different ones to
get it just RIGHT.Early Corvettes have Carter's and the same
condition to deal with.
