Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
Ah, good to know takes a lot of the guessing out of trying to get the air-fuel mixture correct

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
Sounds like a good time to use the sealant. You can do a before (which you already have) and after.

with this unit is it easy to swap between vehicles? Would like to be able to check a couple of flathead setups with this. Thanks Phil NZ |

It does not even have a digital readout. There are more suitable units that come with all the components and can be used on other vehicles. They need 12 volts to operate but for setup purposes on a 6 volt system a stand alone 12 volt battery can be used. This is an example of what is available (and the one I am using)---------- https://www.ebay.com/itm/Innovate-39...8AAOSwsXFZJTf0

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
I have the Innovate unit linked above, it is very interesting to watch how the carb responds under different conditions.
You have to weld a bung on the exhaust, preferably up near the manifold. Hook up power and a thick cable between the O2 sensor and the display head. Can be hooked up to a laptop to capture data while driving (see below). I'd say you could switch it between cars in less that half an hour.

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
The exhaust entering the tail pipe will be a mixture of all the cylinders on one side of the engine and is representative of the air/fuel mixture for the engine.

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
I got the old carb today, now I know its a Stromberg because it says it on it. Do you know what model number this would be? Could this be the original Ford carb? I had the car running for a while today without the air cleaner she was smoking a bit hard to know if its from running rich or burning oil. Smoke was not blue, tail pipe is black. But really how does these cars run on 10% ethanol? Do they tend to run a bit rich anyway?

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
One good thing about Autolite plugs is they have rolled threads, best for aluminum heads.

Re: Autolite Spark Users Only
Seems like I read somewhere that the Stromberg 48 was used in the early 36 Fords, as well. Terry
