Waiting on parts to replace clutch section on my 1949 Ford 8n. In the mean time working on other projects...

Just finished cleaning carbureator and all the pieces.

Ready to reaasmeble with rebuild kit.

However, should I use anti-seize compounds on the screws locking togehter the top and bottom manifolds?

Definitley shouldnt use on jet seats?

When I disassembled, Teflon tape was used to seal together the elbow joint at the gas intake?

Should I use this when I reassemble?

What about gaskets... should I use RTV compounds?

RTV and gas don't git along. Teflon tape will not hurt as long as you do not leave enny hang'in to the inside. Tip izz to tape and then a little pipe dope on the tape. remember to apply the tape in the rite direction, or if the fit'in screws to the right then apply the tape to the right. I always say "right on then right on with the tape" then you will not roll the tape up as you install the fit'in, it makes a nice clean leak free job. I see no need fer the anti-seize. If you install the tape on a right hand fit'in to the left the tail end of the tape will wad up then you will be pic'in at it to git the loose strings off but guess what its the same way on the inside and they will break loose and cause the needle valve to stick open. Nutter tip, when ya install the brass elbow I install a fit’in in it the nut off a old gas line of brake line will werk or git one that fits at a parts store not sure of the size, the nut will help reinforce the brass elbow so ya don’t damage the threaded part of the elbow as you thighen it, it will bend E-Zee with out the nut installed. I try and stay to the out side or the ticker part as much as possible. I have a shot adjustable wrench with wide jaws that gives good coverage of the brass elbow. A regular wrench will deform the threaded part of the elbow unless ya stay near the out side or inside of the threaded part. If you have ever had to lay under a big truck and install a hydra booster then you learn this stuff real quick of you will git yer daily dose of brake fluid.

Hobo, do you have a picture that shows this? I am having a hard time understanding exactly how it works. Also, is the type of wrench you're talking about sort of like a crescent wrench? If not, would you mind explaining how it's different so I can see if I have one? Thank you! --Dawn

NO sealers NO tape NO nothing. Put all parts back in with out any thing on them other then maybe some spray carb cleaner and thats only because if done right they may still be wet from it.

I think most carb rebuilds are a waste of time.Most owners introduce new problems.

Only if done wrong. Takes time to learn to do them right and even then it can take opening them up 2 or 3 times. I've been doing them for 40 years and I still get them wrong once in a while

I agree old 100% and you don"t need airplane tools to do the job just normal tools will do just about 99.9% of the work on any carb or engine.I probaly have rebuilt 5000 carberators and no stuff or special tools

I have to agree 100%. You just have to develop a "feel" for it. Some people just naturally have it, others will never have it. Can't explain it any better than that.
