mechanic is saying that he needs to remove carbs to investigate/fix backfire issue (bad). He believes carb(s) are dumping fuel which is cause of the problem- maybe float stuck or something? There is a heavy fuel smell after running the car...heavy! How many labor hours should I expect for removal, tear down and rebuild of carbs?

Bill,
Wow...I thought for sure replacing the exhaust gaskets would resolve the problem. From your description it does sound like something else is amiss. I would still recommend replaceing the stock fuel pump and the gauge/regulator/tee unit that feeds the carbs with a 3.5 psi CB Performance unit (even if you dont do the SS fuel lines now). I never really liked this setup and it was on my to do list right after the gaskets. Please keep us posted. Thanks, Tim |
