I have read here on the gmcnet,that you have to have an Original
Carburetor for your GMC.?
I had a Holly Carburetor on mine ,I could go off at a Traffic Light and
leave Cars behind me ,but the back two barrels wouldn't open.I thought ,I
checked everything,.
I went on the Internet and bought the Right Carburetor($250.00)r, sent it to
Dick Paterson to be rebuilt about (300.00) and guess what ?.I cant leave
Cars at a Red Light and the back two Barrels still not opening..
At the Dothan Rally .I talked with a fellow Dixie Landers from Lake Lanier
GA And he went on the top of his Gmc and brought me a Carburetor. I told
him mine was not like his. I had a Vacuum brake on the front..
I told him I removed the Vacuum brake and plugged it.He told me that was not
a good Idea..
To get the Vacuum brake to work your Vacuum has to be below 5 inches..my
Vacuum never drops below 7 inches at full Throttle. My Engine has 55,000
showing..I plugged the Vacuum and the back two barrels open now.
I should have spent the Money on WHORES AND BOOZE ..I would have at least
good /bad memories.
