- Right now, only one '76 CJ5. 304 with a three speed stick. Everything else is pretty much stock 'cept for a 4" suspension lift. Came to me with a back breakin' 4" suspension lift attached to a reverse shackle setup (Reversed the reverse shackle :dung: and now she rides like a Caddy!) Also posess a few 60s & 70s Mustangs and a couple of late 70's F150s 4X4s.
If it has a quadrajet carb like most Chevys did they had a problem with plugs in the bottem of the bowls that leak so when it sets for a little while the gas leaks out leaving the carb dry so to fix this when you do a rebuild you have to epoxy them underneath the bowls to fix it. I don't know if the Edelbrock carbs have the same design.
Thanks for the tip. I'll definitely look for the plugs when I dig into it.
