shift usually points to flapper valve adjustment ? I would take carb
apart and check over really good, look for dirt or something in needle & jet area and make sure things haven't fall into bowls ...
Good Luck, keep us updated & talk to Vic Santos, he's very good with Q-jets.........

The car the 1st run ran fine but didnt run the number by a tenth
Thats why I checked the fuel pressure and it was at 3 pounds
So I turned it up
Running around the pits is fine the car starts up fine and runs fine

The carb has not been touched and has been perfect till now
I think it may be a bad pressure gauge

Thanks David for stepping in here to help it is kind of you

We had to turn it up alot to get it to 6 pounds and again there is alot of fuel smell
I will look for a gauge in the morning...
