I need a carb tuned in a bad way. Any expert carb guys gonna be there to help a youngster out?

Oh if ya want pick up a vac gauge..

Kat

 

Im thinking about grabbing one. I also have a holley jet kit with #64-#99.

Factory were 65 primaries and 68 secondaries. Went down 1 step (as far as possible) on the primaries and 66s on secondaries..didnt help much. I also lowered my fuel pressure with no luck.

I figure someone will be able to help.

 

Well with the vac gauge you can ajust the idle screws to lean it out a bit and playing arround with the float level will help that out a bit

BTW have any back fires recently with it?

I dont recall ever having a backfire with this carb. Except it dieseled a couple times bcause the idle was sky high. I dont think it has ever been backfired so the power valve in theory should be ok. Maybe I should go ahead and try another one and see what happens.

 

i definately need my air screws tuned, i have no vacuum gauge though.

 

where can I get a cheap vaccum gauge at?

 

autozone $30

 

I'm sure I'll get punched later on for telling people this.....BUT there is going to be this guy there with a black LT4 powered 86' Z that knows his way around carbs His name is Jim, he posts on some boards as JimW! I dont think he posts here though!

 

They are cheaper than that.. about 15 bucks or so.

I work at advance auto parts. We have one but its big...runs about 30$. It does more than just read vaccum tho.

If someone at the meet can make my car run strong and stop running so rich Id give them like 20$ or something. Im tired of fouling plugs and running so rich that you can see black smoke at idle even.

Its funny because it still does miss or hesitate lol. Must be a chevy thing.

 

i bought a vacuum gauge last nite, i needed mine tuned so why not, hope someone can help me, lol.

 

sweet ill bum yours off you Mark. I never picked one up. Ill see you tomorrow at the fairgrounds I guess.
