Hey guys, stupid question about carbs. I was watching the UTG video's and he was holding a Eddy carb and breifly touched on the transition slot. I know that setting the butterflies correctly to show a portion of the transition slot on Holleys is true, but he also showed the slot on the Eddy. Do you set the butterflies the same on the Eddy carbs?
Concept is basically the same, but I wouldn't count on the 'rule of thumb' to be the same.
a. The 20-40 thous was based on the older Holleys. Stuff these days, especially non-Holley shiny and colored ones, have different size t-slots so they can act too rich or too lean depending on the ratio of exposed to manifold vac to exposed to atmospheric pressure.
b. Carterbroks use a slightly different idle circuit than the typical 4150/60. A couple features of the Carter design are two restrictors in the idle circuit and and a second idle air 'bleed'. IIRC its called an 'economizer' in their literature.
Thanks, but most of those refer to Holley carbs... If it is true for both then I need to figure out why it wont idle set like that, but thanks for the link. I'll start paging through them just in case I missed something.
I have the AVS2 and I read it numerous times, I didnt see anything about it.. Guess I'll go dig the manual back out and check again.. I havent found a video that mentions anything about setting the transfer slot
Doubt you'll find anything about setting the transfer slots for the Carters, or the Rochesters for that matter.
I'd start with the Carter and then the Chrysler info. since its Carter oriented.
On the carb, I'd look for some of the issues that people have seen in the Weber and Edelbrock versions. There's at least one thread here where I and/or hysteric shared some photos and links about issues with the clusters in general and the boosters in the '750' models.
