I wish I could help more but I don’t really know much about the system - this rig is a bit out of my wheelhouse. Apologies for that.

I have a Howell system on my FJ40. It’s a bit of a pain. I hear better things from the Holly Sniper.

BTW I have spoken to Howell’s Tech folks multiple times and they have been great! Truth is it may beyond my limits and I have asked them for a referral so I could have it looked at here in Mi and that has yet to be realized.

----Their shop is right here in Marine City close to where 26 mile dead ends. Is the vehicle not in Michigan?.....Bill S

Just an idea.....

Not sure if Eric will work on this Carter, but I can ask. A few years ago he was out of the Q-Jet realm when I had one of those that needed restoration, he was only working on Holleys at that point in time.

Crown makes a replacement carb for this application, and I have had good results with their products in the past. I have one sitting here on the shelf and I will get around to trying it on sometime, soon, hopefully.

Yes I’m only 30 mins away but they do not service them at their location AFAIK.

And I thought I knew a few things about carbs.....I had never heard about Crown carbs until your response.

Did a little research and Crown appears to be Japanese. They been manufacturing carbs since 1955, and ventured into the OE world in 1966 and became the supplier for the Toyota Corolla that year.

I always tell my girls that if you don't learn something everyday, you wasted the day. Now my day is complete.....lol.

Thanks......Paul

----Don't know what to say, Crush. I will say I'm surprised, but now that I think of it I have never seen any vehicle being worked on there. They couldn't turn you on to somebody local even?....Bill S
