Car shuts off when put in drive

Lordy, we just went through 3 Eddy 1407's.

1st one, let the builder screw with it. Would run you out of the shop at idle.

2nd, let the dyno guy play with it (all he did was adjust idle screws, and screwed them up.)

Then we read up, got in here, etc. Great carb now.

Vacuum gauge, timing light with tach (more accurate), Read, read. And read some more. Then a $50 kit of jets and rods, and springs. Not perfect, but once you understand that Eddy/Carter/AFB. it gets easier.

First, ritchen rear jets about .04 like from .070 to .110 . The secondarys don' care if they are rich.

Primary, that is the trick. Adjust idle to lowest rpm; then use screws to get up to highest vacuum/ rpm. Then reset idle.

Un-loosen little plates above primary rods. Maks sure they are full down at idle (this is your Holley power valve in her). try weaker springs, until the rods pop up and down; go back 1 spring.

Now run the car, just 2 miles, reg grocery getter, now check plugs. no black, look good, no stumble, probably good. They seem to need to be richer, from experience, not the jets, just the rods.

Forget the acell pump; just put the rod closest to the body. It ain't a holley, trying to cover up a bog, with the pump. The bog, if you have one, is in the primaries.

Once we got a good one (it took 2 new ones from Edelbrock), and learned them, I won't have another holley.
