Two questions for the group:
Does anyone have a good method for adjusting the mixture on a
Rochester B carb? I've used a vacuum gauge as the book
suggests but when I open up the mixture, the vacuum increases
slightly but then stays the same no matter how far you loosen it
(21 psi). Where in that range should I stop?
Also, I have a little front-to-rear wobble in my harmonic balancer
(about 1/4 inch). The radiator is already installed and it's kind of
hard to get to so I was wondering if I should leave well enough
alone or take it off and try to re-mount it. The engine times out well
and runs great otherwise so I don't think the crankshaft is bent.???
Thanks in advance,
Joe
