DV - thanks for the reply. Don't suppose you'd have a part number handy? Is the tank a standard car part? I don't have access to my build manuals right now.

Thanks,

1992 factory built cr going on the block

Sadly, it's time to say goodbye to my cr cobra. It was factory-built in ND and came to me with a 1985 302 complete with the under-engine suitcase catalytic converter. That was pulled for a PAW 351...

So I did have a sticky needle valve, but now that that appears sorted, it looks like the float in the secondary bowl doesn't push the needle up far enough to close off the passage. When I blow...

Me too!

Mr. Toad - any chance you could upload those pictures to your gallery? I'd like to see them as well. I'm hoping this is something that can be done to an already-built car.

Thanks,
