Air & Fuel Mixing
Tune Your Idle: NOS Carburetor Controls & Mixture Parts
A vintage engine is only as good as its air/fuel mixture. If your classic is hard to start on cold mornings, stalls at stoplights, or idles roughly, the small control devices on your carburetor are likely to blame.
The Precision of NOS Carburetors require precise vacuum signals and thermal reactions. Modern "generic" replacements often lack the correct calibration. At Old Car Parts NW, we stock authentic NOS (New Old Stock) and NORS components for Holley, Rochester, Carter, and Autolite systems.
-
Choke Thermostats: The bi-metallic coils that automatically close the choke for cold starts.
-
Vacuum Pull-Offs (Choke Breaks): Essential for preventing flooding by slightly opening the choke once the engine fires.
-
Dashpots & Solenoids: Stop the engine from stalling when you suddenly lift off the gas pedal.

Dashpots are mechanical devices used to dampen or slow down the movement of a component, typically in a controlled and gradual manner. They are commonly found in automotive carburetors, where they regulate the speed of the throttle valve to ensure smooth engine operation. Vintage NOS carburetor dashpots are rare and sought-after components that are no longer in production but are new old stock, meaning they have never been used. These dashpots can be valuable for collectors and enthusiasts looking to restore classic cars to their original condition. They are essential for maintaining the performance and efficiency of vintage vehicles.
