Re: 78 gmc heavy half stepside project

Bought this gem a few weeks ago off Craigslist for $150 I got a new holley accel pump diaphragm and blue gaskets for it and gave it a good cleaning and deburing of the bores venturis and all around. This is as all the Internet people call one of the crappy barry grant carbs that don't work for a damn, had 66 jets all around and metal shavings and the such but I jetted it up 67 up front and 8 sizes bigger in rear and set the throttle blades center. So far it runs great in my red truck and has helped me net some mpg and low end. I think anybody that complains about these carbs only knows about jetting and square holes. Thing runs great
