For Sale: 1978 Fairmont Sedan

TTT

OK, I bought a new battery last night.. poured some fuel in the dry carb and she fired right up. Unfortunately, the carb is leaking now. I plan to either rebuild the carb or buy a rebuilt carb and put it on there. I also need to drain out the old gas and get new gas in her tank.

The better she runs, the higher the price goes! Hell, I might even take a shot at gettting the A/C charged and working if nobody buys it as-is.

If I don't get any bites from the locals soon, she's going on Ebay.

I'd rebuild the carb if I were you. Too much bad luck with rebuilt carbs from parts stores....

[IWRBB]

I'm worried it might have a crack in it somewhere. It'd suck to pay 25~45 bucks for a carb rebuild kit and find out the base is cracked. I'll probably still rebuild it though.

I tried several rebuilt carbs for my '77 Mustang. Every one of them were crap no matter how much I tuned on them. Car had loads of power for a 2.3, but wouldn't idle. Stumbled when accelerating unless I tromped it, put my original back on, and it ran ok, except the isues I had before.

Just seems like rebuilt carbs have been rebuillt way too many times to be any good.

But hey, free bump for ya, if I had indoor storage and the money this would be mine.

So, who makes a good rebuild kit? I've seen ones from probably 25 different companies. Any particular brand that works good for you?

[Stangman]

Never got around to rebuilding mine yet... don't really know how. Plus, if I screw it up... I'll never find another Mustang II carb ever again.... lol! So I am looking for a reputable kit, and a reputable rebuilder as well....

I found a detailed step by step with color photos on rebuilding the 2150 carb. I'm thinking about doing it myself.. I mean.. how hard can it be, right?

Nice ride!! It's not to bad rebuilding one. Did you try green they may have a factory rebuild kit or a new carb. There over by the gardens, paddock exit I believe.

(513) 731-3304 this is the number I have for them

Whats the price on it?

[IWRBB]

As it sits, $1000. It'll run long enough to get it on a tow truck. Trailer would be tougher w/o a winch, but is probably doable too. You can't drive it far with the carb leaking fuel though. Once it's fixed and running, who knows what she'll bring.

Edit: That price is for Stangbangerz only!
