Video to share

Just wanted to post a quick video of my project. I have swapped it over from TBI to carb and have been having fun working some of the bugs out for the past couple of months. Check it out and let me know what you think. I will be getting some better videos here as soon as I can...

Re: Video to share

sounds pretty choppy, what cam and heads are on that?
Looks like it's running ok, any major problems or just tuning glitches?

Magnum 292 comp cam, dart Iron Eagle 210 heads with a little bit of porting done to them.

Car runs extremely rich, I have jetted the carb down alot to get it leaned out with no luck. Although I do have to admit that I probably bought the wrong carb for the motor combo I put together. When I first started the project I was going to keep the original 305 and swap over to a carb, so I purchased a 750cfm Road Demon. Came across a good deal on a 350 and never thought about changing carbs. I found an issue with the Demon, called them and sent it back for repair, while it was off a borrowed a buddies 750 Holley with a Proform center section in it ran like a completely different car (for the better). So I am going to sell my carb and buy a new Quick Fuel with mechanical secondaries and no choke. This will probably help out somewhat in getting the mixture right.

Hopefully one of these days I will get it lined out...
