Hello group,


I also removed and cleaned each carburetor. Tons of crap in the bowls
and floats where a little low. While putting the carburetors back
together I did notice that all the jets are different. Not one carb
has the same jetting. I know this cannot be correct.


You won't believe it, but this is correct. And it varied some
year-to-year. Consult a manual for your year.


I can see it vary a little, but I have some with #31, #28, #50 etc...

Also one
carburetor (venturi) is bigger than the other 5.


No way. Even if a carb was changed out(there were 2 different size
carbs used on the 90 deg. V-6's) both venturis would be the same on each
carb. How are you "measuring" the venturi size? The venturi size is
stamped or machined on each carb body somewhere(going from memory here).


The throttle plates/body are the same, but the vent on that one carb is
bigger. It almost looks like someone broke a carb and stuck this one
on. You can see with the plain eye that one vent is larger than the
other. With this carburetor the vent is larger than the throttle
plate.
