Find a carb from a 210? That's a joke isn't it? I haven't found one that has a good throttle plate shaft in years now. I have about 15 carbs in my posession and they all have the throttle shaft worn out. That is why I bought the Holly/Weber carb, because I couldn't find a place to order a good stock carb. The Holly/Weber was supposed to be jetted for the A14 and it has everything on it to bolt it up to the A-series manifold and linkage. I just haven't been happy with it at all for the past three years.
I want to say this about the cooling system. I doubt that anyone in this club has a radiator as large as the new one installed in my car right now. It is 27 inches wide, 18 inches tall and 3 cores thick of brand new crossflow radiator. It has an electric fan that runs all of the time. It has a 3/4 inch restrictor plate installed instead of a thermostat. The water pump is also new. The heating problem is not in the cooling system. If I let it set and idle, it runs very cool. The faster the car runs, the faster it heats up and it does not cool until I let it idle. My heating problem is not just a faulty guage, I have burnt a piston and blown a couple of head gaskets to prove that is just isn't a bad temp guage. I have replaced everything that makes a car go except three things,
1. heat range on the plugs,
2. coil,
3. and carburetor,
everything in my car is NEW. So please don't tell me again about it may be the temp guage, put in a B210 radiator, or it's OK to run without a thermostat for a couple of days. I only run a thermostat when I need heat. Mostly I don't want heat, I would rather run a cool engine. I have run months at a time with no thermostat, that is not the problem. My problems didn't start until I put the damned Holly/Weber on it. It will be off of the car this weekend. I am sorry to sound harsh but I thought that I knew the 1200 very well, I guess there are problems that I do not know and it has to be in the carb. There are no other option left. Has anyone ever had this type of overheating problem? Has anyone ever run the Holly/Weber carb?
