can anything be done to make the newer ones run like the older ones did. so many people complain about the carter/edelbrock carbs. I still think more could be done with mine but not with the knowledge that I have.

.076" P & .067" S. The P may be a little lean but you need to go there (or start there) and richen progressively until it is just rich enough to run well at the light load where the idle circuit is in play.

I think if you take things one step at a time you will be able to tune your carburetor. Do some research, start with idle circuit then main etc. One thing at a time so you can reverse if the change does not work well. Do some reading first as good information has been posted in the past.

Right its all mounted up, The length of the bung and heatsink does mean its just the tip of the probe into the downpipe, as in just the domed part. Will this still suffice?

That material looks good. I would be careful with CF. The CF can take the heat easily but the matrix (or resin) fails with high temps. Even thermosets have max temps near 240-300 F. It will be over 1,000F at the location in your pics. Good luck.

And Aluminium don't bring lot more "thermal-mass" but following your post's it have one advantage here it is Silver, like...

Hey guys the only part of the log that is full throttle is from 13 sec. to 22 sec. After 22 sec. I was just coasting back down to the speed limit. With my original 74/84 jetting and .o55 pvcr, my cruise afr at 3000 was 12.5-13:1, w.o.t. was avg. 14.0. I am trying to get my cruise afr leaned out, then I will try to get my w.o.t. afr richened up. I recently hooked up my vac. advance to man. vac. and slightly tweaked my base timing (took out...

Transfer slots are right on the money. Already have 18 inital engine does not like anymore.
