Kinda of a sad little story maybe a lol maybe a little tears.
I got my Plymouth Scamp back from a shop that I sadly paid $$$ to finish it up for me. The new carb they put on is a squarebore and its a spreadbore manifold...with the wrong adapter. So driving it I notice the gas pedal barely moves and the cars slow as shit.Its a 318 V8 motor I have had and ran for years. Shop commented it need the trans rebuilt. Quick spot check and the throttle blades only open about 30% before they hit the manifold sides. So no 100% throttle and no four barrel engagement. This is like carb 101: 1. check and make sure the linkage doesnt bind and 2. goes 100% with the pedal.
A quick gasket change and we are off to the races. got my 4 barrel back!
pretty sad deal over all I mean this is a hotrod shop that works on older makes.
