Good Bye Varijet!

This thing has had a problem starving for fuel intermittently when secondary's open. To the point pulling a hill it wont make it except low gear barely any throttle. Guy bought from changed ever thing but carb. I rebuilt it scraped rust out replaced tank no change couldn't find an adapter for something else. So made one with my Eye ball machine shop. found old Mono jet rebuilt it. (had a 68 Camero with this carb on a 250 ran great)Any way little over a $100 bucks runs great. No power house. Gotta shift down on hills but it is what it is and works for me. 83 C10 Name:  photo.jpg

Re: Good Bye Varijet!

Nice Mod! I remember doing some crazy stuff with adapters on my old inline sixes... I ran a V-8 2BBL carb through an adapter to a 4BBL intake. Worked great because the CFM was in range. My current 250 is an integrated head running strong as well. Maybe we should start integratedheads.com and see if we are not alone haha
