Message: [QUOTE="psduser1, post: 1526745, member: 735"] Sounds like you are gaining on the vacuum issue. I assume you've double checked the throttle blade position at idle? I.e. fully closed? Try spraying some wd40/carb cleaner all around and over the carb (not directly into the carb) to verify no vacuum leaks? I cant remember if you've covered that, too lazy to reread the thread, lol. Have you played with the distributor setting at all during this process? Sometimes you can gain a bit of vacuum reading by retarding timing a degree or two. Of course, you'll want to keep an eye on how the engine starts as you change timing, it's a bit of a balancing act. Quite often I found that the recommended number was close, but not perfect, depending on the combination of carb/cam/heads. Of course, double check your vacuum with carb changes after any timing changes, as it will change you carb adjustment. It is a time consuming process, but it can pay off, and if you are only a 1/2 turn out on the idle screws, and still rich, I think you'll be a lot happier. Sorry if you've already discussed this, just trying to cover all the bases. When you get it perfect, you know we expect a video, right? Preferably a burnout, or a drive by under load!:p [/QUOTE]
