You do know admission is the first step right?
Yes, you have to pay admission to get in the front gate...
I have a 60% hearing loss caused by being too close to an explosion years ago.It's good to have doctor's orders to get out of honey do list and household chores...
The military audiologist who is a friend of my wife and me told her "when he says he didn't hear you he really didn't.
Free lifetime pass!!
Sometimes I have to remind her when I say "I didn't hear you"

Huh? Not trying to be funny. The particular tone of my wife's voice must be where my hearing loss is.I have a 60% hearing loss caused by being too close to an explosion years ago.

We had a supplier take us golfing at the TCP course in Dearborn, MI... It was in the 60's and when we get to the 4th hole, the temp drops and it starts to snow a little...
We go to the clubhouse and have a drink and wait about a half our or more and it clears up...
We go back out and continue from where we left off and after three more holes the temp drops again and it starts to hail... We left our balls on the course and high tailed it back to the clubhouse again...
One of the guys in our group decides to call it a day and leave... The rest of us decide to give it one more chance...
It cleared up again and temps back in the 60's again and we finished our round...
The temp up and down swings were crazy that day... Never saw that before or since...
But we did have a good time...
I would like to see this cover band. The Lexington Lab Band Click on the video link. It's their whole music catalog. Open it on You Tube and let it run in the background. Good tunes all day!
LOL when I went to the VA for the fitting of hearing aids the wife called yellig at me the audiologist actually was able to tune her frequency of her voice out! I love it when she says you need a hearing aid!Huh? Not trying to be funny. The particular tone of my wife's voice must be where my hearing loss is.

The Doc says my hearing is also shot, got years worth of audiograms to prove it. But I got to say even with my hearing loss I could hear Cheryl giving Craig the business last night over his ham string incident! I called to check in on him and she was explaining to him in no uncertain terms what she thought of his “proposed” lifting restrictions were. I am not saying he perhaps may have embellished them a bit but they all revolved around house hood chores? I think the last thing I heard was you can mix your own drink that bottle is not that heavy! I omitted the many and very colorful adjectives she was using.

Just like Dalmatians when they get old... "Selective hearing"....
You are in the same room with them, call them and they pretend they don't hear you...
You drop a plate or spill food in the kitchen and they come from two or three rooms away and knock you out of the way to grab the food...
So then what systems are you using when cruising on a 35 or 45 mph road steady state??? Idle system, main system, or combination of both???
Before and after, that stuff stains your teeth
Love that episode!
I was referring to the “old price” before they raised it. It yeah, not bad at all. With any luck, I will be taking the Dart there next year!
On Tims trailer?
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 the carb. He had been involved in stock elim racing so was my mentor of sorts on the car.
We flattened the base and drilled the throttle plates to improve the idle. I left about 10PM and on the first slight hill at 30 to 35 mph the engine was dying. Oh ****. Turned around, went back to his place and rang the bell. His wife looked thrilled (not!). he thought for second and then went and got some wire and stripped the insulation. We stuck the wire in the air bleeds until we had the right combination to restrict them so the engine would get the proper fuel in the off idle range. Drove home, and actually drove with the wires in that carb for quite a few months until we got some restrictors made by the machine shop where we worked.
One way to 'see' which circuit is dominating is with a throttle position sensor on a datalogger.
I haven't done that yet, but a couple guys have shared their logs with TPS.
On my logger I do record manifold vacuum (with a MAP sensor).
see this post for some tables 100 cfm more with anular and downleg boosters can't beat AFR

That top clamp needs to go closer to the end of the hose. (but not to the end)
Note: Carters and at least some Autolite/Motorcraft and Holley 4010-4011 have a slightly more complicated low speed system.
These have two fuel restrictions and second air bleed of sorts.
Low Speed Jet: The first jet picks up solid fuel taken from the bottom of the mainwell.
Economizer: This is the second jet, and restricts between the bypass air bleed and the idle air bleed.
