| Post subject: | single-barrel carb mounting - slant-six |
Was under the hood of my '64 Valiant yesterday, and noticed that the carb was loose on the intake. So, I tightened it up... and also noticed that it is held-on by bolts instead of studs and nuts... Most other carbs I've worked-on have the carb mounted with studs & nuts... Did Chrysler start bolting carbs down in the '60s, or am I confronting an "upgrade" by a previous owner ?  Thanks... |

I've seen 'em both ways. Sounds like your particular application... ...wants studs with good nuts! |

My '66 had bolts in it as did most of the older motors I have taken apart....wants studs with good nuts! Late '60's on up have always had studs.

According to the engine #, my slant is from a '66... I think I will be changing-over to studs... |
