I have rebuilt a few of those, more than a year ago. But if he has a specific question you or him could post I will take a stab at it.

There's only one thing you need to know about them: They are not worth messing with. I got so tired of messing with mine, I swapped it out for a Motorcraft 2100. It was ten times better. But still not as good as my fuel injection, which is ten times better then the 2100. I wish I would have just went that route to begin with.

A rebuilt stock carb works pretty good. Easy and cheep to rebuild yourself, easy to adjust. They are not a bad carb..... But the 2100 is better Mine took a little tweeking to get it adjusted but it was not a bad swap.

well basically it looks like someone has rigged a few things and cut some wires, just lookin for someone to show us whats goin on

possibly they did the "nutter bypass" where they take the computer control out of the loop and help it run better. Search for that and see if that makes sense with the current wiring
