The Dirt Cheap 1970 Fairlane Debacle

[@sombra6153]

302 2V is “two Venturi” or plain ole two barrel carb, not “two valve.” Other than thwn, looked like you found a nice toy.

You need to remove the wrenchin the carb so you have the full choke so that way it stays running.

I didn’t have any fuel supply, so it wouldn’t have stayed running anyway. The wrench was holding the choke open so I could get the ether into the carb easier

[@markreisen7038]

Here's a BETTER IDEA, just fill the carb bowl with gas and this will give the engine a longer run time up to 30-45 seconds.

I didn’t have any gas on hand and didn’t feel like driving the 20 mins to town to get some at the moment

So how much is way to little? I bought a 1971 Grabber blue Torino Gt in 1981 for $250.00 plus my 68 f100 that was my first truck.

Just enough to buy it (300)
