Carburetor for my Willys 226 engine
« on: March 28, 2020, 01:54:48 PM »
  I ordered a carburetor kit from Daytona Parts Company which had a modified float valve. The car is running the smoothest since I have owned it.

  Last Sunday Cristina and I took the Willys on a 40 mile drive to Lake Okeechobee just to get out of the house and have a picnic away from people. Well, we attracted some people to look at the car anyway. I filled up when we returned and with a combined city and open road travel we got 21MPG, not bad for a hydromatic.

Is your Custom a 2-door or 4-door Sedan?
