71 Toyota Corona Carb Problems
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.

I'd get a 32/36 Weber progressive carb and not look back.
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.
