I haven't had luck with autolite 1100s...

When I got my 68, the one on the vehicle was in visibly bad shape... I bought a replacement from my local parts house and after chasing it with different settings and replacing every other variable, I found out that it apparantly was in a fire and the plastic insert in the body was tore up. I tried a couple others that my buddy had, with no luck...

Finally, I just bored out the spacer a bit and stuck a C1RBS carb on it (from a 72 250), I "modified" the linkage to accept the 68 style and it... so far... has run extremely well.

Sad thing is that I had that RBS in the garage the whole time while I toyed and frustrated over the other carbs and set ups... ugh.
