Guest waaybig Posted April 13, 2015 Share Posted April 13, 2015 Hello, Fellow Buick owners. I have a 63 Buick electra with 401 wildcat and Dynaflo trans. It's all stock. My problem is the original Carb it's junk. Been rebuilt twice and still junk. I've been warned that because of the kick down linkage I can't use any other carb. Can any one help me with this if you've changed your and with what to mantain linkage related to trans kickdown.ThankDano Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rusty_OToole Posted April 16, 2015 Share Posted April 16, 2015 I bet Carb King can fix it or supply a new one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NTX5467 Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 Just putting "a kit" in a carb is NOT an automatic "fix" for anything other than to clean things up and renew some common wear parts in the carb. There are some internal passageways which can become corroded and will not clean out with carb cleaner. There are also some internal passageways which are sealed with a ball bearing and solder, where the solder can become degraded by ethanol'd gasoline and leak. The throttle shafts can also wear where they pass through the throttle body on the carb, too, which CAN be fixed, usually.Carb King can probably take care of a carb for you.NTX5467 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest exbcmc Posted April 20, 2015 Share Posted April 20, 2015 I recently learned an expensive lesson having a local mechanic "rebuild" the carb.....complete waste of money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
