Well, Putting the wildlife aside, I fooled around with it some more last night. I took the filter screen out and saw exactly why it clogs so easily. I cleaned it with a propane torch and noticed a tear in one side. No problem! I'll pick one up at Jacktown today (it's their fall show) Not one filter did I see. But now the carb is blocked too. Hey! Not to skip around too much, but I picked up a 1 BBL carb today for cheap. It has "Ford" on one side of the bowl with scripted letters. The guy who was selling it said it was for a 6cyl, possibly a Ford Falcon. I remember Falcons having a glass bowl, this has no glass. Me thinks it's Stromberg 81 or one of the old flathead Sixes they made. Wish I could post pics!
