HELP!!! trying to tune my edelbrock carb in on the car
well i pulled the 80 Camaro out of storage, i figured 90 degrees is warm enough, lmao!!!
anyways i have started to tune the carb in a bit better, it ran way to rich last year. so ibought the jet/rod kit for the carb. i went from a 7147 to a 7347 rod, i think this helped alot. but at wot at approximately 4600 rpm it bogs real hard you know falls flat on it's face
funny thing is at about 85% throttle it doesn't bog at all.i imagine the mainjets are 113's i am gonna step down to .110", what do you think?
tia!!!!!
i spent all morning getting her cleaned up and in proper viewing shape! it is nice to have her back on the road!
in case you were wondering... 355, with a mild street cam 'bout 520 lift, Dart Sportsman 2 heads, performer rpm intake, heddman shorties, edelbrock 750 carb.
