Carb rebuilt

This year I passed down my 1965 Mustang that my mother bought new to my son, it's been in the family since day one. Here's pic of day he picked it up for the 6 hour trek home.



He's had it about a year now and carb is starting to leak and give him issues. So I'm headed to his place for a lesson in carb rebuilding and thought I would do a short breakdown of process that I'm talking my son thru. Motor is a 351w stoked to 393. Carb is a Barry Grant Demon 750.

First we clean everything up good. I like starting with a clean engine.



Carb removal is easy, fuel line, a few vacuum lines, throttle linkage and the four bolts to manifold. There's no transmission kickdown as it got a manual shift automatic.





Removed the bowls, four bolts holding each one on rear had some gunk in it, accused him of driving like "Miss Daisy" and not opening the secondaries often enough.





The front looked good.



The metering blocks were clean.



Bowls looked good. You can see tear in upper left gasket. Looks like I over tightened last time I had it apart.



Here's everything laid out.



This is where we stopped. It's one of my granddaughters birthday so that took priority. We'll finish tomorrow.
