May have to buy new outboard carbs. F------CK! This is the bane of my existance!
I always heard one of the first modifications a 6 pack owner did to their cars was remove the 6 pack setup...
Mike cracks me up. I love my six pack! The drivability is awsome and it's virtually maintaince free once you get it set up. I've had a 6 pack on all of my Mopars since 1975 except on my Hemi Bee. I was even thinking of putting one one that! The first 6 pack I owned is still in service on my 70 road runner that I sold to my brother. There is not much to go wrong with the out boards except gaskets and possible problems if someone messed with the air idle screws that are plugged off.
JOE!! You're back from the Ukraine!!

X2 I have had the same 6 pack on my car for over 20 years.
What is it that engine is doing or not doing that makes you think this?

No the first thing the "dumbass" 6pack owners did was remove the vacuum secondary and install mechanical linkage. I could never understand why. My car runs 11.60's with a pack on it.
The only changes are lighter secondary springs and a little more jet in the center carb.
I put a 6 pack set up on my old RR and to this day the guy that owns the car still has them on, no problems!! I do kind of agree with Mike, 1 carb,1 problem, 2 carbs, 2 problems, etc!!
ok.. let me set the record straight here..
I've never owned a six pack setup.. when they came out, I was just finishing up the terrible two's.. So I got no real world experience with em. And after watching someone drop 2500 on a set of carbs/intake, I most likely never will.. (unless I emptied my bank account on em..)
When i was younger and the subject of a six pack came up, the most common saying was "we wanted to drive it every day, so we took it off" So that's where my statement came from.. was
in cheek humor.. no more..
If they are done properly you will never have a problem. The problem was the person who built my engine. I got a great price but bad original carb setup. When I finish with this it will be fine (hopefully)! by the time Im done it should all be new.
I would love to help you with this. Where do you live? I live north of Philly pa.
