Hi, my name is Jonathan and I own a 1985 Chrysler 5th ave with the 318 V8 5.2L. I beleive it has the Holley 2bbl carb on it. I just wanted to introduce myself as I have no experience with carburetors or mopar vehicles in general. I hope to learn from you guys and find useful info on this site.

 

Welcome to the forum... Be sure to check out the Mopar of the Month contest.....

 

wecome to the forum

 

Thanks guys

 

Welcome and one question does your car have the lean burn system on it?

 

Im not sure but it does have the Electronic Fuel System thing on it. idk if thats any help lol

 

There aint no way this (currently) hunk of junk is gna get Mopar of the Month but I do like it very much and hope to have it looking great in time for the August Back to the Bricks here in Flint, MI. Its our resident car show and Cruise every year...hoping to get off work for it too lol

 

Oh btw i almost forgot, I have a thread in the Exhaust part of the forums, would appreciate any replies

 

Do you happen to have a picture of your engine with the breather on?

 

where is the breather? you mean air cleaner?

 

Welcome!

 

I think i know what you are talking about, are you talking about the cap thing that has hoses coming out of it on the passenger side valve cover? I will post a picture as soon as I can of the breather.

 

Welcome, Lean burn is an electronic computer that is attached to the air cleaner. It says leanburn right on top of it if the label didnt fall off. The car also might have a carter carb they used both in the mid 80s. In that car your going to be Pimping at the car shows.Lol

 

the only thing on my air cleaner is the Electronic Fuel System thing, if I remove the air cleaner housing, the car still runs fine. I assume it doesnt have the same affect as say a MAF on a newer car? Will it run fine if I put an Edelbrock aftermarket air cleaner and simply remove the stock one along with all wiring?
