Hey All,
I am glad to report that my car has been running strong lately and I enjoy it every chance I can....weather permitting these days...
I am now focusing on learning how to fine tune things on the car..
Orignially I set the idle mixture screws to three turns out and was running like that.
I now bought a vaccum gage and seen I had around 8 HG( it would move a little towards 7 or 9)
I tinkered with the two adjuster screws and have got it to a little over 10, and it will move over a 11 or just above 9.
It looks like this is as high as it will go.
I just really dont understand what the vaccum does. (i know that sounds stupid, but I was just wondering if someone could give me a basic idea to help me clear up the idea in my head.
Also is just over 10 HG alright?
my car has a 69' 340 motor, ld340, purple cam, 600 holley dp, headers, everything else is stock.
