1050 Dominator Too Rich

[Garys72Duster]

My big Dominator carb is running too rich on the idle and low speed circuits. Engine blubbers and won't smooth out when holding a steady 2500 RPM. It has the 8896-2 carb. Some say to convert it to a 2 circuit carb, and that improves it. Anyway to fix this other than re-drilling passages and putting in transition slot restrictors?

Go to moparts and look up thumperdart.

You are better off spending a bit of money with someone or you will have to do a bunch of tuning. You are just a bleed correction away. I'm not a fan of 3 circuits on anything but Comp engines and some other weird stuff. Most of the time a 2 circuit is better.
