·I cannot get my Autolite 4300 on my 69 Mach (351 W, 4V) to run right. It will run for about 15-20 seconds, then it just dies. I can crank on it a few time, pump the throtle, and it will again run for a few seconds. I have rebuilt it twice, blew ALL of the ports and such out with compressed air, checked the float level, blahblahblah, but I can't get it right. I have two choices at this point, they are as follows:
1) Go the Advance Auto Parts and get a rebuilt Autolite 4300 with a one year replacement waranty, $215.00 plus my core.
2) Get a replacement carburetor. I want to be able to hook all of the factory vacuum lines though, and I want the heat riser to hook up for the choke if possible. Basically, if I get a replacement carb, I want to cover it up with the factory breather assembly so it won't be seen. I also would like to keep it under $250 or so.
The main reason I am considering a replacement is because it may be easier to maintain.
What do ya'll think? And if you would vote for a replacement, which one. The car has a 4spd Toploader, and is bored .040 over, if all of that matters. It also has air, but does not have power brakes. I may also change to a pertronix ignition system.
Thanks
