Hook a vaccuum guage to your intake and run it into your dash, take running readings and do the same with your other car and compare notes.if the readings are low on the dual carbs then you are drawing more air than it can handle.That is the same as putting a 750cu.carb on a 65 v8 you get great bogging and a lot of lag.
-
did you downsize your carbs to fit your engine?If you are putting twice the fuel and air as one carb it will not run right.I tried the same set up back in the fiftys on my fifty chev.Was more bother than good.duel carbs have to be balanced to idle good.[same vacuum on both carbs]A small four barrel would work better but not near the eye appeal.

The photo that i saw was a 1932 B400 even rarer than than the A 400.Sure would be great to have it.

Model A,Looks like a late 30-31 dash the rest pretty much fits all.
-
I have a special number plate on my model A.The serial no on a model A is the motor number and if the motor is changed you had to get one of these to get it inspected or for license plates.I got mine in 1965 when I restored the car.The original serial number is stamped on the top of the frame under the drivers side of the cowl.Very hard to get to.It was fairly common back then and did not mean an assembled car

Hi Rob what do you have under the car cover? The wheels look nice.

Can you remove the door lock?It should be the same key.

THe 1931 and 32 Chevrolets had this type of fitting on the upper segment of the lower radiator hose [there is a metal elbow with hoes on either end]The other hose goes into the head.
They show up on Ebay but are not common.

I see 3800 Buicks getting 30+ mpg but my 2000 Lesabre Limited [55000 mile car] runs about 23mpg on a trip and 20-21 around town. this is done by gallons into miles not what the car shows.do i have a problem that i can fix to get better mileage?

A lot of Model A Ford guys use positive ground alts with a wide pulley.Most model a suppliers stock them.They are made from the older style GM alternators and last forever.These are one wire systems easy to install.

If you have Foxcraft skirts [most are] Chevrolet did not offer sfirts in 55 there are two clips that fasten to the wheel well with set screws.The flat part goes in a slot in the skirt.If you have these off.hold the skirt up to the wheel well and put the clamps on the car so that it lines up with the slot in the skirt and insert in the skirt and lock the center lock.You may have to adjust the clips to get a good fit.

Are you sure the carb bowl is not boiling dry? Have had that trouble more than vapor lock in the line.
-
You may also try two or three more degrees timeing to go with the increased plug gap.It worked on my chevrolet as well as the model A.
Let us know how it worked.

You might want to contact Bill Cartwright at KC WOOD MFG in Willis,Va.he makes wood for chevrolet bodies and can give a lot of advice on your car.If you have to replace much wood or certain pieces you take all the sheet metal off build, the wood skeleton and put the metal back on
-
Replace that rear two piece with a front bumper[it is a bolt on] the car will look better and no one will question it.

Uncle Sams mule is really slow, he has not made it to western Pa.in six days and he just had a raise.

They no longer remove deer,they spread a bag of white lime on carcass to keep the smell down so if you see a guy in a dark green uniform dumping white powder along the road that is our game commisiom at work.

Were is what is on the brass plate on the lifting arm. Walker Lift-A-Car no 716 series B its one and one half ton capacity,unlike yours it has a single flat bar for a handle .Will be out of town for a few days and will get a picture posted when I get back.

Thanks for any info.
