4100 secondaries not opening

Post by 65CLNTE »

Morning - I just finished installing a new timing chain and water pump on my 66 289. While I was at it, I installed a stock 4V manifold and a rebuilt autolite 4100. I've got a vacuum line running from the carb to the dist, and a PCV valve connected to the stock carb spacer. The exhaust manifold to choke is capped.

Problem: the secondaries are not opening up, and I can't find any vacuum leaks. Any ideas???

Thanks
Bryan

Try a installing a lighter spring for the secondaries. You should be able to use Holley carb springs in your Autolight 4100.
I cannot seem to find my pipe stretcher and sky hook, did I put it behind my bucket of arc sparks??????
