Poly Wanna Bigger Carb?

Last time around we helped our friend Austin rebuild his first carburetor, a 750 Edelbrock. This time we install it on his 318 Poly 1965 Sport Fury to replace the anemic 450 Holley he had been running. The smile on his face after taking her for a rip tell the whole story.

[@austinlacroix888]

@David Cook Tony didn’t charge me anything. He saw my car at his open house, invited me back for a video, we rebuilt the carburetor, he came out and helped when my engine broke down from 40 miles away of his own volition(I actually offered to bring back the carburetor because I wasn’t sure if the engine was in a quickly repairable state), and we slapped it on. He got the content, I got the carburetor and experience. He’s a great guy and I can say that first hand.

Well i have had the i take off to do a cam and lifter job. Only because of a tick that was more present than not. This is a roller engine. I pulled TONS of flaky crap out. It was all pilled on top the lifter spider. I even used a shop vac it was so bad. This was some years ago now. Since i have done oil changes every few hundred miles. Then went to every thousand. Id say after 15 oil changes i got it cleaned out pretty good. Then the car sat for for years. Then i had to put it on the road for a daily driver through winter. Now its my only car but i lost my job. So just bumming around the house fixing it up..

This 750 has really awakened more potential of this motor and I can’t thank Tony enough for the carburetor!

I love the fact after each shift, it no longer just falls on its face and just cleanly keeps pulling. That alone makes a huge difference!

What we did on a few LA blocks was drain the pan, pull it, pull the pump and drive the bushing out from the bottom, then check all of the bearing on the crank both mains and push rods to see if anything was damaged from all the metal shavings from the distributor/pump drive bushing.

[@k5ren]

Unka Tony, don't forget to remind Austin NOT to beat himself up when he makes mistakes and mucks something up. If he LEARNS something from his mistakes he will GAIN EXPERIENCE! None of us woke up one day and knew all of our wrenching and troubleshooting skills - We gained it a lesson at a time and we become experienced mechanics over the years! I love his enthusiasm and drive and I love his '65 Sport Fury even more! I also have, new to me, a 383 powered '65 Sport Fury basket case. The car came with no engine, engine harness, alternator or PS mounts. I wired the thing up right, installed the engine and acquired needed parts through my Mopar friends in our club. I just got it running and driving last Friday. The thing runs like a beast - and that 383 winds up FAST once in the power band! If he doesn't already, suggest that he buys a Factory service manual (NOT a Chiltons type) for his car. I own one for each of my cars and I could not have done the job without it! I look forward to seeing more content with the kid!

@@joshuaryals45 The tools arrived in 2 days, and during that time we put the timing cover back on the car and gave the sealant time to cure so it wouldn’t leak again.
