I had thought that the lean burn carb ain't a stand alone piece? vac hose off/plug wires (as said). Is that the $45.50 eBay dist?

I have had great success using the MP dist kit.(no longer available?) I have also used a single point dist that worked fine.Never had to touch the carb.Sounds like problems are other than the carb.
Leave the gun.......take the Cannoli's....Mike

My buddy just installed a ready to run distributer in a 400 with a thermoquad.
It will run with the lean burn un plugged , but its back firing thru the carb.
I thought there was something you had to do to the carb in this situation ? What are we missing here
I converted a 318 years ago and it ran fine without touching the carb
Lean burn carbs run rich by default. From any engineering perspective you want a failure mode to fail "safe", failing lean would not be safe, failing rich would be.
But go ahead and blame the carb, typical. Your buddy fat fingered up his vehicle with some cheapo POS junk Ebay scrap pile distributor, but hey it's obviously the carb. He would have been better off with a different style "ready to run" distributor, called points.
Scrap the junk distributor is my suggestion.
WOW--you are a COMPLETE IDIOT !!!
The dist is MADE IN USA and NOT off Ebay !
I worked on it today--the timing is on and everything else checks out--- ITS THE CARB you moron.
But thanks for the rude response and no help D-BAG POS !!

Let's see, replace the distributor, it runs bad, must be the carb.
Hopefully your paying for the shotgunning, not your buddy.
I suggest you double check the installation, wonder if you remembered to bypass the ballast.
They say there are no such thing as a stupid question.
They say there is always the exception that proves the rule.
Don't be the exception.
