Hey Guys, I just picked up a 1964 Dart as project car. The car was running when I got it, but the idle was very fast. The engine would just stall when I lowered the idle to where it should be. I took it off and rebuilt it with a kit and adjusted the float. Now it will start and only run when I give it some gas. It cuts off otherwise.

From what I am reading either the float is bad or the idle circuit is not working. I have two questions?

1. How would you go about checking the idle circuit. I can blow air though the hole by the air/mixture screw - where should this air go?

2. Where can I buy a new float. It seems like they are discontinued?

Thanks.

Floats are not discontinued. Walker #100-14.

I prefer the rebuild kits from www.daytonaparts.com , they have a better type of inlet needle and seat than the parts store kits.

Dan- I am looking at the Walker web site, do you know what the difference is between the 100-14 and the 100-86?

The 100-14 is the one that's not discontinued!
