SHHHHH
I've got to say this quiet, I dont want the carb to hear this but i think i might have won this battle. What I think was happening is that there were a few different things working aginst me. Number one being my general lack of carburetor tuneing ability. I think what was going on was that the carb came off of a stock engine and with the amount of cam in the new engine the power valves were open at idle. This was allowing fuel to trickle through the transition slots in the base plate. At idle this would foul those plugs, when you hammer the throttle these plugs would clean up and it would run like a raped ape. What I did that seems to have it under controll is I replaced both power valves with 2.5's and opened the secondary's a small amount so I could close the primary's and not have so much of the transition slot exposed. This is by no means perfect but it seems to have cured the worst of it and can be fine tuned from here.
Visited a family member at Dockery Ford from the time I was 1 year old through their ownership and then ownership change to Morristown Ford. Dockery was a major player in the Hi Performance...
