Ive had my corona for about 2 years now, it has been giving me carb trouble recently causing the car to run rich and idle high. We have had it rebuilt by a mechanic, he rebuilt it in the first place because the accelerator pump went out and caused it to stall at stops. now its tuned down to factory specs and the carb is causing the car to shake during idle and on takeoff from first causing it to stall if not revved before takeoff. Should i rebuild the carb again or just get a brand new carb. it is 235$ which im willing to spend if it gets the car running in perfect shape. What else could i do besides the carb to get it running like normal. Help please.

also in another note, could the cold weather be effecting the performance of the car sense it is older?

Moved to correct section, though I suspect not many people on this board even know what a Corona is

Do you know much about coronas or older cars? What would you do. Thanks for moving it to the correct section im new to this forum and dont really know how to use it.

I'm no help there, sorry. I gave up on that dated technology years ago

It's cheaper and more reliable than stock and will probably wake the car up considerably.

Pierce Manifolds would be my choice of vendors, but there are kits on Ebay too.

If you're pretty good mechanically, you can save some $$ by buying the manifold adapter from them and sourcing the carb elsewhere. ebay, vw/dune buggy places etc.

A carb swap is a pretty fun project. Shouldn't be too difficult on a '71 car that doesn't have a lot of emissions plumbing anyhow.
