| 60 292 Starliner with Red's headers, 3 speed and 57 4bbl intake with a fresh rebuilt 4100 1.08. Idles great, pulls OK, but then it is a stock cam 292 in a big car. I do like the 4100 as far as reliability and tuning goes. I would like to get a manual choke on her to replace the auto. Anyone know of a good source for the conversion?

| I used a universal conversion kit on my 2100, which I believe has the same auto choke as the 4100. They are inexpensive and available at most all auto stores. Installation is easy.

| | when converting be sure to epoxy over the small vaccumm hole where the choke housing normally draws from. Some great info can be found on this site & the host seems to be well versed in autolites & all applications including y's. http://www.network54.com/Forum/88781/ |

| | Ok, so I finally broke down & bought a 600cfm Edelbrock. Out of the box ran ok, rich, but ok. Some rod changes, & trial & error on a few springs, & it has so much better response than I ever could get with the 4100's I used I am actually surprised! The only bad thing is now a brake line has decided to burst, so so much for my 240.00 carb!! |

| | I have same carb and also running rich. Know there will be some difference due to cam, heads, etc but what combination springs and rods did you wind up using? TC - Austin, TX
You gotta have the right tools and know how to use them.Rocklock - Austin, Texas

| | Bear in mind that the altitude here is a mile high, in addition to the things you mentioned. It came with a 70x52 meetering rods, & the book says 100 main jets. (haven't had to pull the top to see the jets) It also came with the orange springs for the power pistons. I ended up using 73x47 rods with the same orange springs. Like I said before, the throttle response is what I was most impressed with. The torque is much improved over anything I had ever been able to come up with before. By that I mean it is an off idle torque that carries through into the power circuit. Fyi, I have a 301, with ported c1te heads with 1.78 intakes, e-4 isky cam, 1.6 roller rockers. |
