omaha:
I've got one of those carbs on my 318. It has an RV cam [melling brand] the 360 heads and the intake. runs real good. I just messed with the APT a bit and idle mix. I think the only bad thing about the carb is the rear mounted pull-off. but its a truck so it doesnt come into play that much. Need to figure out a way to switch it to a front mounted pull-off. [early plastic type].

Cliff Ruggles:
They are easily converted to front pull-off, the metal type on the bracket that bolts to the airhorn.  We have straight inlet HP pull-offs for them.  The plastic ones wouldn't work if you did find a way to mount it, they lack the provision to unload and adjust the choke flap angle......Cliff

AnotherMOPAR:
So i noticed the other day, playing with the throttle, that when m carb isnt under load and i rev it up, after a few moments a small dribble of gas comes from the top of the air horn. Am i correct in assuming i have the float close but too high?
I have no reasons to suspect anything is mis-adjusted from the initial post stats under normal operation though. I just want to be sure before drying it out to pop off the top again.
Thanks in advance

Cliff Ruggles:
Did you put a new float in it during the rebuild?.....Cliff

AnotherMOPAR:
The kit i had purchased a year ago came with a new foam float; old one was brown and looked chewed. I changed it when i got the kit, but not this last time when i tore everything apart and took measurements. So...newer float, but not new for this last rebuild specifically.
Thanks again
