Hey Funf I forgot to ask you the other day; what kind of intake (manifold) do you have in the car now? I'm ordering parts and I want to make sure what I get is gonna fit without cutting the hood.

Anyway, it shoots 1-2 foot flames as soon as you let off the throttle above like, 2500rpm. Thought ya'll should know.

Was waiting for my witness :D

It was pure stupidity/ taking bad advice on my part.

I witnessed it.

It was glorious. It also makes racecar sounds.

[FunfGan]

No prob i was possitive you used black magic and a hammer to tune a carb when i first got into this.

Burnout vid?

[FunfGan]

Yep! I got it idling and running well, thanks for the info!

[eurotrash]

Of course all of this is after you make sure your as close to 7psi fuel pressure as possible.

[eurotrash]

Which carb are you running? Nvrmind even if your running an edelbrock now your gonna wind up having to go to a holley so ill just tell you how to tune that.

Start by setting the floats. There are 2 sight holes in the side of the bowls. You want those to just trickle when the car is bumped. You adjust using the needle and seat adjusters at the top of either bowl. Clock wise brings the float down counter brings it up. You'll also want to set ur idle air mixure (the screws on the metering blocks between the main body and the bowls) turn them in all the way then back them out 1.5 turns. From there adjust for a nice smooth idle and set ur final idle rpm using the throttle stop screw on the throttle.

Make sure your accelerator pumps are set right also by bringing the adjuster screw down to just touch the pump arm.

Use stock jets and pump cams and read up on the net on how to read plugs, get an afr gauge or just bring it to a shop with a dyno to set your jetting.

I also suggest getting some thumb screws for the bowls and the reusable bowl gaskets. This is where reading plugs can come in handy. U can have a 20hp swing based on weather conditions and the carb being jetted properly for the conditions.

Of course your also going to want wedged floats and jet extensions so your not affected by fuel slosh(this is what will kill u with the edelbrock) u can also go as far as to trim down the throttle horn.
