I know there are those much wiser than i with carbs here. Its been about 10 years since i have done any hot rodding, and i was never good with tuning carbs.
I just changed the intake and carb and its hard to start now and after 1 min of running at 2500 the headers were hot enough to see the cyl firing. It could be anything. My timing might be off?? but the carb came from holly with factory tuning for my engine build. It back fired and i suppose it could have blown the power valve... Anyway where is a good place to have a lemans solid lifter cam timed too? (running msd mechanical distributor) And what should i do with the carb to start with? The carb is a holly 4777 if i recall correctly. I have no idea where to go from here. Im pretty sure the idle mixture screws are not the reverse turn ones. How far out should i start with them?
Thanks very much. Looking forward to getting back into the game again
