440 six pack high idle

Six packs are a labor of love and have quite a large learning curve. I have tried to glean as much information as possible through books and articles and internet. Really it's a somewhat limited source specially in tuning .

That makes me feel a lot better. I got a book in the mail the other day on six packs, seems pretty informative. Unfortunately I left it at work, so I don't have it on hand at the moment.

And having been someone else's project that I know nothing about, I've got plenty to look at. For example, when I replaced the plugs before starting it, I simply asked for an equivalent to what was already in the car. I pulled one yesterday to inspect it, and it's got a .025 gap. Not even close to .035-.045 as recommended.

Have you downloaded a FSM?
What are the carbs you are working with lists and dates? That can tell you what year manual to follow up with.

Crap! I knew I was forgetting to do something. I found a FSM for a 73, couldn't seem to find one for a 74 on the website I was on and must have gotten distracted because I never got around to it. I also meant to have a look at the list dates as suggested before, I'll do that when I get off my butt this morning.
