Review on 🚗 Optimized Carburetor: Dual 2 Barrel Carburetor 2100 2150 for Ford 289 302 351 Cu Jeep Engine, Equipped with Electric Choke by Eric Fuego

I was a bit reluctant to buy a cheap faux carburetor because I figured I should put a $500 Holly on my 1973 Jeep Commando instead (I like/try to get an American one whenever possible to buy). So I first bought a Holley 350 Performance double-barreled rifle (assuming it's still made in the USA, I wish it was $500) with a Morris 4x4 manual choke. Expecting to get a shipping notification from Morris about a day later, a week passed before I called customer service. They then told me that even though my '73 jeep was smog free, they couldn't ship the carburetor to California as it was against the law. Have canceled this order. Then I could buy the same Holly at Summit Racing where for the job in California they give the option to tick the box that says the carburetor will be used in a zero smog car or SUV. Or I could drive two hours to Summit's Sparks, Nevada and smuggle my illegal holly across the border! Donner mountain station only asks if you have fruit or plants. They haven't started asking about illegal carburetors yet! And it's a big "Bye". At this point I decided to restore the worn carburetor I had removed using a quality kit from Mike's Carburetors. All good, I got ready to overhaul the carburetor and then attempted to remove the main jets for cleaning. The jets are frozen in the carburetor. Afraid of damaging the brass injectors with a screwdriver, I bought a $20 Holley injector removal tool at my local auto parts store. problem solved correctly? Not correct. The injectors were so frozen in the carb that I bent the little tabs on my new tool. That's when I started getting more serious about Auto Parts Prodigy carburetors. What really got me (besides the $97 price) were the positive reviews, especially those with the same motor as mine (thanks, Jared Stivers). If that carb was a flop, I've always had Holly and figured the state of California would be charging more in a few years than if you just had fruit and plants at their border checkpoints (I'm saying this now, but what's next, it might be much earlier). There was a test fire on my Commando yesterday. I invited my carb mate to light the fire (he was restoring some vintage British sports cars. Suffice it to say correctly!). We made sure the initial timing was correct (I had had the distributor R&R time pointless ignition) and checked that the two idle screws were set at 1 1/2 turns each, then cranked up. It took a little cranking to fill the float chamber, but it caught fire. After warming up, the idle screws and fast idle adjustment were slightly corrected. The electric throttle has also been adjusted. The engine produced a nice smooth idle and almost 20 inches of constant vacuum. The test drive went flawlessly, no swamp, hesitation, hesitation, leaks. In addition, it starts immediately after warming up. Cold start works too. Overall, I'm very happy with this carb so far.
