I'm running rather rich, and my RPM's are seriously high at idle.
Should i down grade my injectors on the 4 barreled edelbrock 600cfm to get rid of the running rich, its not REAL bad, i can just smell it when i step out sometimes. and what do i do about the RPMs? its getting on my nerves when i let off the brake on gravel and spin out.

 

sounds like you need to idle it down, the screw is on the front right side when looking at it from the front. should have to turn it to the left (counterclockwise) to idle down. set the car to your desired rpm and then check it while in drive, think i had mine set to 650 in drive. as for the running rich, when is it happening? light throttle (cruise) or wot?

 

injectors? u must mean jets.. I would make sure that the idle screws are adjusted right. Set idle speed and adjust screws for best vacuum. Plug color will tell u if u are rich

 

Okay thanks guys, the help is appreciated. idk really know when its running rich, but sometimes when i step out i can smell fuel. and a mechanic friend of mine said i was so i just took it for granted. ya jets sorry, okay, i'll adjust the idle today. Whats your idle at when your just in park?

 

I dont remember. I always set idle based on what rpm i wanted in gear.

 

Okay guys, the front right screw really doesn't do anything. its a edelbrock performer 600cfm, i need help to adjust the idle, maybe i didn't turn it enough? detailed instructions would be appreciated.

 

you might need to change the springs then if the screws aren't doing anything. how much vacuum are you pulling

 

Make sure that the carb is not on fast idle or the choke is not coming on
There's a screw between the carb body and throttle lever on the right side of the carb turn it counter clockwise it should lower the idle . i like to set my at 900 to 1100 rpm's in gear depends on what the engine likes

 

I thought the springs wern't tight enough, by i don't know much about carbs so i wouldn't know. how do i check how much vaccum im pulling?

how to be sure its not on fast idle? okay, screw between the carb and throtrle lever, got it, thanks, i'll check it out the next time i got the hood up
