Disconnect the negative battery cable to avoid any electrical shocks during the assembly process.
Step 2: Remove the air filter housing
Locate the air filter housing on top of the carburetor. Unfasten the clamps or bolts that hold the air filter housing in place. Carefully lift and remove the air filter housing.
Step 3: Detach the fuel lines
Identify the fuel lines connected to the carburetor. Use a wrench to loosen and disconnect the fuel lines. Be ready to catch any fuel that might spill during this step.
Step 4: Remove throttle linkage and springs
Locate the throttle linkage and springs connecting the carburetor to the throttle body. Disconnect these components by carefully removing the nuts, bolts, or pins holding them in place.
Step 5: Unbolt the carburetor
Now, you need to remove the carburetor itself. Use a wrench to loosen and remove the nuts and bolts securing the carburetor to the intake manifold. Be careful not to drop any of the mounting hardware.
Step 6: Take off the old gasket
Remove the old gasket located between the carburetor and the intake manifold. This gasket may stick or be damaged, so be patient while taking it off.
Step 7: Install the new gasket and carburetor
Place the new gasket on the intake manifold. Be sure to align it correctly. Carefully lower the carburetor onto the intake manifold, ensuring the gasket stays in place. Tighten the mounting nuts and bolts securely.
Step 8: Reinstall carburetor components
Reattach the throttle linkage and springs to the carburetor and throttle body. Connect the fuel lines to their proper connections.
Step 9: Reinstall the air filter housing
Place the air filter housing on top of the carburetor. Secure it using the clamps or bolts you removed earlier.
Step 10: Reconnect the battery
Reconnect the negative battery cable to restore power to the vehicle.
Step 11: Start the engine and make adjustments
Start the Galant and let the engine run for a few minutes. Check for any fuel leaks or unusual sounds. If everything is fine, make necessary adjustments to the idle speed and air-fuel mixture to ensure smooth engine performance.
