COMET CENTRAL

Ok Guys, I didn't think it was a Hardtop as it has a B-pillar; Correct?

The Fal...

Looking at the original post from olivj and the mention to Carb as, Tomco (Oreilys) replacement for the Autolite 1100. I'm guessing the engine is a straight-6 I can't see an Autolite 1100 coming off anything bigger than a 200ci.

To the best of my knowledge there is only one way to sort these issues out and that’s systematically from the beginning. Remove the valve/rocker cover and make sure piston 1 is up on the compression stroke, look in the sparkplug hole to see the piston is at the top and make sure exhaust and intake r...
