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).

How do you know it was rich with the 50 idles and f7 emulsion tubes?
I suggest bigger idles and f11s. |

How do you know it was rich with the 50 idles and f7 emulsion tubes? I suggest bigger idles and f11s. I agree. Try 55 idles, F11 tubes and mains 130-140 with 200 air correctors for base setting a 2.3L Then adjust/try slightly larger/smaller mains & airs for your altitude. |
