Carburetor

I'm wondering if anyone has a DETAILED, possibly color diagram to how the rat's nest tubes hook up to the carb. As a matter of fact, on how ALL the tubes hook up to it?

I'm talking a stock Nikki.

I have the Hayne's but that thing's more confusing than an opossum on Crack Cocaine with the little picture.

*looks at hayne's diagram. Realizes that the tube in the picture doesn't even EXIST!*

Thanks a TON in advance.

E mail me, I have a diagram someone was kind enough to color in. Sorry but I cant remember who did it. Please remind me if you read this so I can give credit to you.

I thought i was the only one that noticed that. Their black and white pictures and having to look up in chapter 13 for newer info is very confusing!

Am also interested in this info.

yeah took me about 1.5 hours. i didnt use the tutorial though. I ripped everything out that didnt make the car stop running I'd reccomend following the tutorial though.

Jay, i just had to say. there seems to be very few people who can actually spell carburetor right. Good job.

I'm a musclecar junkie, it come natural to me. THanks

As for the nest, I just need to see where to plug all my lines. I'm planning for a paint job, so I'd rather not spend the money removing the rat's nest (LAWNMOWER BELT?!)

jay it costs no money to remove the rat's nest. the only thing u might need is vacuum plugs. but then again u can always use screws to plug into the extra lines coming from the carb.

Hmmm, reading the guide, I was under the assumption that I had to buy stuff (such as Aluminum for blocking plates?)

Working nights really screws with you, huh?

When I used to work () it was nights. And now y'alls see the effects of it!

BTW, thanks for those diagrams, Carl, they're such a godsend right now!

The quality is crap, but I didn't wanna go through the hassle of uploading the original to my Cardomain page right now. I'm in a rush.
