Great diagram! I'll take some time to look into this as well! Thank you

I can certainly look into doing this!

Currently... I pretty much have been driving the car about 1-2 times a month on a weekend. When I first start the car it sits in the middle roughly but if I push the gas it bounces all the way to the right until I let of the accelerator. After 15 minutes maybe it will finally settled and stay...

I was driving my ‘74 dart yesterday and realized the needle isn’t reading in the middle. What is this needle position on the gauge telling me? What are the other marks supposed to mean as well?

standard mechanical fuel pump on small block 360.

Ahh.. I see now, because less surface area to contact to force it open.

I do have another .110 n/s that I bought. I could install that, but i'm not sure how much it would bring the pressure down when going from .120 that is already installed in the primary. I'll look into getting a different gauge like the other fella suggested.

Could be a crapped out summit brand gauge ?

So good news, I got the car fired back up and all is good now. That .110 on the secondary really helped me get many more threads to catch on the adjuster nut and I was able to get the fuel up midway on the sight glass now no problem. I did see that on my fuel pressure gauge it's reading about...

So interesting thing... I honestly only messed with the secondary bowl last night, but i replaced the N/S with the .110 suggested. But when I went to the primary instead of being .150 like the secondary it was .120 sized... So would it be wise to make both primary/secondary the same or is it...

The pictures were great ! thanks for showing everything clearly.

You are correct, I have the sight glass so fuel will need to be middle of window. As for the needle. 2 things are going on. The size I found that was installed is .150, secondly the needle is fully seated on my secondary (seen in first post picture) and it's still flooding badly.

I see Jegs has their own brand for shy of $10. Would you think these are bad quality ?

I definitely will. I'd hate to take the bowl off to adjust, but i'm also curious how this all works too since it's my first try at low grade "carb repair" What is kind of bothering me is that when I got this new carb about 2 years ago from a speed shop near me they had it tuned up nicely, but...

This is the suggested assembly ?
