oh there is no powervalve in the back block. does that make a difference?

Valve
Without a power valve, I've been told that you have to jet up a couple to compensate. There are some good carb guys on this forum, so I'm sure they can set you straight.
|
It doesnt seem like there has been that many guys on here lately?? :?: I was hoping someone could direct me in the right direction.

You were definetly too lean with them 66's on the primaries.
When you added that single plane manifold you killed a ton of bottom end torque but gained alot of upper end HP, jetting it up the primaries should help out the stumble. If it were me and I wasn't runnning a P/V I'd jet it 80 sqaure as a starting point, then after making a full pass I would read the plugs and jet up or down as needed. let us know how it pans out.

i agree with cepx, and with the front pv, you are running the carb square as you gain 6 to 8 jet sizes with it.

I drove the car this morning, carb works 100 percent better. the stumble is gone.I am going to test and tune sat. after I make a few passes should I try gradually bringing the primary jets up in size???
|
i would baseline the car with a few run, reading the plugs, takeing note of the mph, then go up 2 jet sizes, if mph increases, then you were a little lean, if mph drop, you are a little rich, i like to keep my jets square.
|
OK guys I appreciate all the help. I'll let ya know how I make out.
|
well I didnt make out real well today I only got 2 passes in and they was enough to make any judgement. the first pass was 13.78 and I missed 4th gear. then I had a leaky fuel cap problem and decided to take the exhaust off and the car ran a 13.77 and I had no shifting issues. :lol: . I went for another pass and stage the car and left the clutch and my driver side axle twisted off. :shock: Has anyone ever used superior axles?? the summit rep highly recomended them to me ... I'm still a little stumped on second pass being almost the same as the first. could it be that my engine likes a little back pressure?? I will post the time slips in order below.LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK . THANKS IN ADVANCE!
