Originality / Re: What is the assembly line correct 68 Rochester 4-bbl carburetor choke pull-off?

« on: May 22, 2012, 10:21:51 PM »

FWIW.  I have an early 67 with the Carter built Quadrajet (7027202 DB, K6), and the pull-off bracket has no part numbers stamped on it, and the original pull-off was all white, with no RP markings on it. If you need more info, I can provide pics. I also have a pic of the original fuel inlet nut, which was replaced (due to bad threads) by a Self tapping nut that looks very much like the one you have been discussing. Mine of course is 5/16 line size (first design).

Sounds as if you either missed a vacuum hose connection, or possibly the intake gasket did not properly seal. I would use a spray can of something that would not damage your paint (WD-40 or equivilent) and spray around the gasket mating area, etc., while the engine is idling to see if you can locate the vacuum leak. Also, your ignition timing may be "off", but I assumed you have already checked your base timing, etc.. You can also hook up a vacuum gauge to see what kind of vacuum you pull at idle, but these numbers can vary a lot, depending on what your running for cam, etc.. Do all your spark plugs look the same ? This is just a starting point, but these are a couple of the obvious / possible issues. Not trying to offend, but I don't know your level of mechanical ability - so if you've already been there - just ignore me.

Thanks again Mike !! I appreciate the extra effort you went through, hope I to can be of some help to some other members myself, as my background is mostly hands on (technical -  retired factory service rep), and I would like to put it together as it was originally built.

FWIW
  After having reread some of the posts it sounds as some of your vehicles may have a seperate pulley plus the fan, while mine is a "one piece" unit (fan and pulley are made as one) with a center locating (for lack of a better description) bushing that's pressed and welded in place. Just want to be sure we are talking the same "piece". Thanks

If you noticed, the picture of the rear of the fan / pulley assy has a number 3 stamped on one of the cooling fins. Sorry, the housings are in the tank, but I'll check the assembly dates when I take them out. The car is a 10C (1966) production vehicle, so I would imagine it's possible to have a March through May alternator, as I have read they were produced in batches. I take it the concensus is that this part should be dark gray phosphate, but it sure appears to have paint on the face of it - maybe it had been refurbished in a previous life, as I am the 4th owner. Thanks again for your assistance / comments. I would still love to see a picture of an original / untouched part, but would imagine that's near impossible. Thanks again.

The reason I thought it was painted, was the differences in the finish, front versus rear - see attached picture of rear of the fan assembly.

I believe it to be opriginal to the vehicle, as  the fan / pulley assy has the part # stamped on it (3909815), but the housings are in the degreasing tank - should be part # 1100693 as per the AIM. Will try to post pic of fan in question.

Detailing the engine area on my early production 67, and noticed the alt fan shows evidence of having been painted black. I saw no searches indicating this to be correct. Should it be silver cad or painted black ?? If anyone has a survivor or pictures of one - that would be great - Thanks.

The two hoses have different I.D.s, so it will do no good to buy two of either. Thanks any way, I'll continue the search.

Who produces a correct reproduction of the PCV hoses used on the L30 ?  Tried advanced search but didn't find anything. The AIM (L30, A3, page 279) lists the part numbers in question as 1) 3916339 hose, 2) 3829058 clamp, and 3) 3916338 hose. Thanks for all info / replies.

I have sent out pics to several members previously of my 67 convert's original mat. There's no flap, simply a rectangular hole with rounded corners. I'm traveling till next week, but would happily send pics, or a template if you wish, just PM me.

I may be wrong,but if you have a vehicle with rear antenna, the front piercing also gets plugged (for cable routing for standard front antenna). At least it's plugged at my '67 in this manner.
