hi all,
after much coaxing my '68 made it from southern california to idaho, laden down with as much junk as she could take. i'm very impressed!!. my carburetor seems to have gone out of whack on the trip up though. and i am trying desperately to find out exactly what kind of carburetor it is!! lol, i know silly quessie, but i honestly can't tell. there doesn't seem to be any tags on it anywhere. i don't think it is the original, although it may be. it is an autolite, which was rebuilt by holley (stickers all over it say that) and it has these numbers on it.....34R-5008B (around a circle)
6R
3514
B (in a raised circle)
DOPF......(with a couple of numbers i can't see)
under that.... 4530 OKA

i was thinking it was an autolite 1100, but my dad says no way. any help on this would be GREATLY appreciated.

also if you want to take a crack at it, the problem i am having with it, is the car will stall, just like its being turned off, no spluttering. this happens even while revving in park. although more often at low revs. (like at traffic lights)

the plan so far i guess will be to surrender her to a mechanic to adjust things. although i would much rather do as much as possible myself. unfortunately very limited finances!

i think perhaps the 1000 mile drive knocked a few things out of whack. anyways thankyou in advance!! i LOVE this place!
