I am having some real fun with a Nissan Sentra 1987Federal Feedback carburetor. That is what brings me to reading this board. The problem I am having is where the previous mechanic might have showed his .creativity This has been a learning experience for me though. Any technical advice out there? Where to find obscure parts like vaccum sensor (or boost sensor?.......based on intake manifold pressure it sends a voltage of 0-4 volt signal to the ICM which then controls fuel and ignition timing...) First objective is to get running though. Any "creative"advise on doing that is appreciated

We call them "The hopeless chokeless" and refuse to work on them as most people who own these now don't have the money these require to fix them correctly. They were a bad system when new and haven't gotten better with age!
