I don't keep the wheels if they are 14's unless they are factory. That car was Hemi orange I had others that were go-mango like this one. I also had many B , C and E bodies . I just liked the lighter cars and High revving engines. Probably why I liked 2 strokes and The Widow maker that...

Badaboom! That tells the story. Every time I hear that, you can bet money that the throttles at idle are too far up on the Transfer slots, Probably because you are trying to run too much idle timing. IDK 234/244/112 is a big cam for a low pressure engine, and she's gonna want a good amount of...

First things first. - Do not assume initial timing is 'about' 20*, check it because that cam will need AT LEAST 20* if not more for BEST IDLE. - Remove the carb. Turn up side down & check how much transfer slot is showing at idle. Any more than 0.040" [ 1mm ] is too much. It is likely to be MUCH...

I agree, the plugs will tell you the health of your engine. Last year I changed my plugs (N-9Y) on my 69 340, manual, at around 70,000 miles and they were clean and tan, just a little wider jap. I do spend around one hour setting the dwell on it's dual point distributor.

Gimmee a break, my very similar combo would idle with the Idle-timing down as low as 5 degrees, no problem. 12 to 14 is all I've ever run, cuz that is where my T-slots synced up at. Lemmee splain something; Your AFR at idle is created by the combination of transfer slot exposure underneath the...

What in the world is a transfer screw, speed screw?? Never heard of either of these until now

Not enough for me. But here's the simple answer: racingfuelsystems-T slot question Woukd loveto look into this more but no time now. There's a whole thread on the 660s here racingfuelsystems-Holley 660 acc pump squirters but I dont have time to study it this morning. Plus we'll still need...

Thanks AJ ! Right now it currently has a 1405 600 eddy, i have a stock AVS for a 340 laying around, the car has 3.55 gears

That is likely a tuning issue. My guess is that she is running too much Idle-timing, and if you close the Idle speed-screw, she wants to hesitate at take off. The cure for both is to run less Idle-Timing. If you brought that car to me, I can make it idle at 550rpm, in gear and pulling itself...

Wow......lots of stuff to unpack in those 3 pages. "Bruce realised long ago that the majority of engines like and needed a combination of 2 droplet sizes." Is it right to assume that the 2 differences are what the T-slot and booster provide?

I'm running Fitech Fuel injection so it's a bit different than a carb. My idle speed is 800, I can adjust this down along with my idle timing with a touch of a button. My AFR at idle is 13.4 ish, can also be set. I didn't think the valve train was loud, but I guess I have nothing to compare...

I suspect you will have to block those holes to get the T slot position correct. 318 has more cubes, so needs more idle air, hence holes in blades. I would not trust epoxy to block the holes. A tiny nut & bolt, Loctited and/or staked works well. You can also soft solder, resin cored solder...

Minor correction...the 2 holes in the front face of thexair horn lean out the entire primary fuek curve, where as the 2 holes in the baseplate act as idle air bypass allowing the primary butterflies to close more...covering the transfer slot. The holes in the base plate came from the idea of...

"Not really" opens up the possibility to maybe. I am not talking about whacking the throttle open. I am asking about a gentle tip-in. If the idle speed is high, it can and will mask this. Here's what I would do; First, it's important to; make sure the PCV system is plumbed properly and...

...makes more sense. Obert covers it, but not as explicitly. I think that sometimes the tip in stumble guys run into is more a product of the T slot still providing adequate fuel when the booster starts because the MAB is too large. Look at an early 3310 Holley. I think (my memory isn’t all...

Yeah I will put in a stiffer spring. AJ, change of subject, but quick question for you. I tuned the carb using the methods you described and it runs very well, great transition off idle and good response through the rev range. It is an eddy 500cfm performer, #1403. If I want to swap on my...

The good news that my engine combo is similar to yours, so I can tell you what worked on mine, and it will sortof transfer to yours. And I am at 930ft, so we're on the same page. and I too have a 4 speed. My combo; Eddy-headed 367, with a 276/286/110 cam which is 230/237@050 the Scr is 10.95...

The answer to post #15 is an 'if' answer. IF: - the engine idles ok & the mixture screws [ either screwing in or out ] have control of idle quality - & if there is no off idle flat spot & smooth transition from idle to main cct. - then there is no problem with the t-slot closed off by the...

...without a quality annular boosters any more. As a general rule, that series of carbs were “universal” which means they universally fit nothing. The idle circuit is so rich it’s crazy. Like most everything else they need T slot restricters. They need some work but if you tune them they work...

Agree with the other comments. Pri blades probably open too far, exposing too much t/slot. Engine is idling off increased exposure of t/slot & not the mixture screws, hence idle is best with mixture screws screwed in.

My understanding is that PV alows extra fuel when vaccum drops below certain value. I think I dont have right PV size, only 4.5s and probably need 2.5. My engine idles at 4inHg in gear. For now it runs smoother with no power valves and bigger jets. I will come back to this for sure. I bought...

Dude.... this is a completely different approach to idle set up from anything I've read before. I'm genuinely curious, just might be my Sunday project. The thread fizzled out and no one replied, but thanks for that write up.

hey sorry for taking so long me to reply but been kinda busy. tomorrow i will be taking the carp of and checking the float and prob start drilling. one thing. why to drill secondarys and not primarys? thanks :)

Low speed. Most of the fuel is coming out of the transfer slot because the throttle is open only a few degrees. The three restrictions of importance at low speed cruise are idle feed, idle air bleed, and transfer slot. One evening when I was still green I drove to my coworkers house to tweak...

His ECU yes - When it failed , I took it apart C H I N A was stamped His distributor and coil on a friends car I went to replace the T Slot on the distributor because I wasn’t happy with the mechanical advance What a piece of total junk

I'm posting this in hopes that if more of you jump onto this thread, I won't look so stupid. After reading all the advice on how to easily install the torsion bars, what did I do? Instead of letting the LCR fall to its lowest position, I got under it with a jack and raised it till I got the...

Interesting......

Steve, yur breaking my heart; That thing wants a ton more gas, a ton less air and a buncha more timing. Just for reference; What is the cylinder pressure? and What are the cam specs?, and What is your base timing? First off let me say that I have never tuned a dual quad on a passenger car. But...
