I meant for the 8N. I'm ok for my trucks, thanks though.

Ahhhh! For your 8n!
What's the deal? Thaken it apart? There's nothing in it except a needle and a valve. If it won't stay ideling then you most likely have trouble with that fuel screen that is in the fitting in the inlet of the carb. Mine was all clogged with rust and such.
I wish all carbs were updraft. :(
I just REALLY hope it's not sticky.....Quote:

I have learned to let it drip out, cut off the fuel, start it, set the engine speed I want and then adjust the fuel on/off valve to the proper flow.
The thing is driving me nuts.

Get 'em while they're hot!
If you are just trying to give away the Edelbrock, I will take it. I will pick it up in 23 days.
Why do they go puttin' Chevy motors in where Jeep motors should go??? Sheesh.... Another reason not to like that rag.... Not trying to start a flame war, but I like my AMC *Jeep* motor quite well. <g>
Ethan, part of me agrees with you, part of me realizes the facts of parts availability. That's why my Honcho has stayed Jeep all the way. On my 725, if I can get a good Chebby 350 with a 700r4 and xfer case for $500, hell I can't even buy the flywheel, clutch, and bellhousing to fit my spare 360 for much less than that!
Plus, with the Chevy, fuel injection is a breeze. I know it can be done with the Jeeps, but requires special adapters, etc. I view my Honcho as a Jeep...I view my 725 as a military vehicle, and thus not quite subject to the same sense of propriety.
end of speech, thanks for coming, and have a good night!

I have an FSJ with the AMC 360. So can only speak to the AMC 360.Quote:

If you got an AMC 360 closing in on 80k you're lookin at a rebuild. My FSJ has close to 130k was rebuilt at (you guessed it) ... motor runs great for now, but takes constant attention.
One word.... Buick! 455 gas guzzlin power to boot....
