One would think that these relatively simple and necessary parts would be
included in a "professional" $600 plus per c arb rebuild.

Yeah...right!!

Hi Mark,

 

Even if the linkage moves, pedal will then move, ---not the carb end.
..carbs still sit on throttle stop screw, at minimum for idle, held there by
return springs ..is anti stall dashpot on it? Not that it works great, but
it helps. 

 

I was told once that mounting carbs sideways makes them more fussy about
momentary fuel slosh direction in bowls , so flow in idle jets impacted more
by fuel height over screws. Momentary high level = momentary rich mixture.
I think all 300 ram cars tend to stall easily at factory correct idle RPM
(and sometimes then won't catch!..must go rich, =wet plugs?) . Not sure of
rationale for any of that, prior are my own thoughts, but definitely fussy.
And of course have to be set up right on car ..many are not.all screws MUST
be open same amount, if undamaged screws/ seats. Edelbrock new AFB
replacement screws cure a lot of "Carb" problems. Stock screws can get a
ring around them from hours of carb diddling over 55 years, makes it act
kind of on-off instead of smooth adjustment(unknown to you!) . If you see or
feel raised or depressed wear rings on taper of screws get rid of them.  A
carb that was inoperable on idle became perfect with new screws for me.
Raising idle helps, but then a jarring TF engage. I am not sure there were
ever "loose" converters for iron TF. ..But 300J fixed that on 727. Check
exhaust heat flow in /under carb (the restrictor game in warm climates) .
Present hi test gas here has alcohol, evaporates faster, heat aggravates it
..and aggravates all these issues . Many rams came off when new over this
kind of thing...why gone for 62. But back with manual choke in 63-4. Can
work great, but not a trivial task to get them right. 

 

As in hot day in 4th of July parade...it stalls ,won't catch. auuugh.

Forgot to mention that I had an extra 3256S Carter AFB, so I had it rebuilt
by Jim McGowan (Quad Shop).  The stalling problem happened with two
different carbs, so I do not think the stalling problem is related to carb
float adjustment.  Both carbs work perfectly under most conditions.

Hi All,

 I suspect that after I had my 413 and Torqueflite rebuilt, the person that
reinstalled the transmission may not have torqued the mount bolt
sufficiently.

 When the 300 was recently on the lift, the spring between the transmission
mount and the transmission seemed to be extended a few inches.  When the
mechanic lifted the end of the transmission, there seemed to be almost 3+
inches of vertical movement.  This seemed excessive to me.

 On a side note, I am still having a problem with stalling as I slow down
and take a sharp right turn.  What I think may be happening is the
engine/transmission may be moving/tilting in such a way to affect the
throttle linkage position?  Tell me I am crazy, but that's what I need to
investigate.

 What is the spec to tighten the transmission mount bolt?  Once I do that
properly, I will know more.  I checked the shop manual, but I could not find
it.  Thanks for all ideas.

 300ly,

Mark Lindahl
