Re: rich carb
Vic
I’d be looking real hard at the idle circuit. If your going off a 2-step, wot, it will be rich. Footbraking you might play around with squirter size, most Holleys are around a 28 Stock I have run as high as a 43. How fat is it down low ? RJ |

Re: rich carb
If your O2 is in your collector, and it is within 12” from the end, you will not get a “clear” read, it will always show rich until you bring up rpms as in making a pass down the track then it will read correctly.
You can slip on an 18” extension to the end of collector and tune it for lower rpms (2 step leave or foot brake leave). Then take off extension. It’s is sucking air back up past the O2 sensor and it will show rich until you get rpms up and going down track. Good luck RJ |

Re: rich carb
In my experience on a carb combo it showed rich when staging with 2 step at 3000 rpms or so. Moving O2 or extending collector will correct that.
On an efi combo putting an extension on allowed us to tune it so it did not search and go lean/rich while in 2 step staging. Like the computer couldn’t make up its mind up from due to O2 not getting clean data. That was with a BS3 system but believe it to be the same with all. Believe Vic’s combo is 780 Holley but maybe not. RJ |
