Every 205 leaked for me even with new shaft and seals.


Pick-up looks nice.

I already have the choke set 2 or 3 marks clockwise, should I try more clockwise adjustment?

Never had good luck with electric chokes.
We always went with manual chokes.


Some carb engines are just cold blooded till they warm up a bit.


Went with edlebrocks in all our pick-ups in MT do to all the ethanol.

Loosen choke can, rotate choke COUNTER clockwise 1-3 notches.  I fucking hate electric chokes.

Truck is looking damn good.  I totally forgot that your engine we're talking about in the other thread is for this truck

Messing with the carb based on MPG seems really counter productive UNLESS you have way too big of a carb.

It's a holley 750. It's big.


I hate to be Debbie downer, but that's way too much carb.  That's robbing you of power.

Edit - wait, isn't this EFI?

I'd swap it for a 600cfm.

Do you want Holly or Edelbrock?

If Edelbrock, I have some metering rods I could hook you up with.

Is there a reason you’re not considering the old Q-jet carb? I rebuilt the original one for my Chevy K10/ 350 SBC and it really works well. Has small primaries for good fuel economy and massive secondaries when you need to pour the coals to it.

I was going to have it rebuilt and the guy said it was worn out.

I had that 750 sitting there and it just needed a rebuild. That's why we used it.

I could try and rebuild the Edelbrock that was on the 350, I just need to take it off the 327.

A carb guy in Billings told us years ago rebuilding holly/q-jet carbs is a waste of time and money.

Said to buy new or a eldelbrock with the later prefered with the damn ethanol fuel.

It has an edelbrock carb and intake. No spacer between the two, just a standard gasket.

It could have ethanol fuel in it as it came from Indiana. I did top off the tank with 91 octane with 10 % ethanol.

There's your problem right there my son bought one brand new to put on his rebuilt 350 and it never ran right. He went a found a used quadrajet and never had another problem.
