I daily my '78 Starfire to school and back. It's a little over 60 miles. Even though the Iron Duke doesn't get the greatest mileage, I really enjoy the car.
However, lately it's been starting to run very sloppy. We just changed the oil and plugs about a month ago, and we noticed that the plugs we took out had half the gap that the one's we bought. Since we installed the new ones, it ran great for a while, but now I'm getting a very choppy idle and the car has a very noticeable miss at all rpms.
I think the carb needs replaced. The plastic pieces that hold the choke in are shot, so the choke falls out constantly. I can't find a choke assembly anywhere, and I don't think a rebuild kit would include the pieces I need. Does anyone know where I can get a new carb for this motor? Or the models of the original carbs for this motor? A NOS one would be fine, but if there's one that could help with gas mileage a bit, I'd consider. As a broke college kid, I'm trying my best to keep up with replacing parts on this car. Thanks for any help in advance! If you need pics of the carb, I can attach them.
