    Sharps40, Yea, Tom is no help at all. No instructions included with the carb! I don't think he even knows the specks for the carb. I might be able to get the info from a Ford service book. When I first got the carb, the upper jet was installed up side down and was sqirting the gas out of the carb into the air cleaner, instead of down the opening. Had to turn it over to get it to work. This was supposed to be a rebuilt carb that he personally checked out himself. We will try all of your suggestions. Thanks for the info. We are going to put the original 1 brl. back on to see if it still persists then go from there. John

    greg g John doesn't like to talk much about the Head Gasket / Vermont mess. He did say he had dinner with you guys a few years ago. We will try the suggestions given.

    DJ and Don, I sent the carb back to Langdon. He checked it out (he says) and said everything is correct.

    It will still idle high in neutral. We used carb. cleaner around the intake manifold and carb. adapter to see if the idle reved higher. It did around the intake manifold so we tightened the bolts to torque. It didn't rev higher when we re-sprayed again. We used a vaccum gage to check the carb. vaccum, but not the manifold vaccum. We have not tried going back to stock carb with no adapter yet. Greg you know the guy helping me with this problem--John Stover.

    I have a rebuilt '55 ply 230 auto. with a Langdon 2brl electric carb and intake manifold adapter (1 brl to 2 brl), will not low idle. To try to get more power I split the exhaust manifold, put in a mild cam and had the engine bored 30 thou. over, and added dual exhaust. I have to keep the idle up so high to keep it running in gear at stops that it clanks at the rear end when I shift it into gear. I checked vaccum--no leaks, tightened intake manifold bolts to torque--no use. Anyone have any ideas how to correct? John Park
