250-6 and it has a 2bbl Varajet carb.

Anyone have any luck overhauling thease carbs. Mine has a big
bog off the line and its horrible when cold.

It appears to be getting a big shot of gas when the throttle is
punched,timing is advancing.

Runs much better when warm ,still bogs if throttle opened
quickly.

Read a small burb about replacing it with one of those 2-bbl
Holley Weber carbs.just need to redrill the mounting holes.

Anyone done this,stock replacement carbs are over $200. Yikes !!

This is an automatic also which makes it more fun when cold.

Trying a cheap fix until I can swap in a V-8 .

This six only gets about 13MPG.
