I've read countless posts on adjustments, jets, linkages, etc but I'm new to all of this. Got the car in December 2015, and was told the following: 2.3l, scat c-25 cam. It has the stock non-vacuum distributor w/points, dual weber 40's, ?hex-bar linkage, bursch muffler/no headers. Came w/50 idle jets, 190 ac, 125 mains, f7 e-tubes. I live at elevation 3700'. Have tried f-11 e-tubes, went to 45 idles, ran good at 3500 rpm+, constant pop at lower rpm or flat throttle. Have tried many combos of mains, ac, idles, e-tubes but still pops considerably at flat throttle. Don't have ability to check air-fuel ratio (yet). I'm running out of bourbon-please help (with carbs, have line on more bourbon).

You havent mentioned the synchronization between the carbs.
Do you have a tool to measure it? It is critical to do it at Idle with the linkage disconnected, then hook it up and measure again at low throttle and higher RPMs. The linkages are prone to vary in synch with throttle position if not setup just right. A cable linkage from tangerine racing is a set it & forget it solution. |
