[6pack] Carburetor hose

[samuelsma at aol.com]

I just got my '76 back from the shop after an extended stay.? In order to solve the plug fouling problem, the mechanic made a few changes.? First, he installed an MSD ignition box and?MSD plug wires.? Second, he spent some time adjusting the carb settings.? The carbs themselves (Zenith-Strombergs) were rebuilt less than 2000 miles ago.? Third, he hooked up some sort of tubing that I don't recognize from before.? It runs from a port on the front side of each carburetor to a T-fitting, and then from the fitting to the back of the air cleaner.? What is this tubing for?? Is it a PCV setup?? Why was it missing before and why do I have it back?? Anyone out there running an MSD ignition box?

The good news is that I took the car for 2 pretty long test drives and it is running very strongly.? Even better, I pulled some of the plugs today after a 2-hour drive and they looked perfect.? The black, sooty look is gone.? After lots of time with a meter on the exhaust checking different RPM ranges for excessive rich or lean conditions,?the mechanic?returned to the stock needles and sent the others back to Joe Curto.

The acid test will be when I slog through heavy traffic on my way to work this week.? If they don't foul then, I should be in good shape.
