She is a hotrod again,

Talked with one of the big carb guru's on the phone for a lil while this afternoon, he talked me through this 1050 carb. It was loaned to me, with the option of trading the 1150 I have been running. I made my decisions, and set it up on the bench as a 3 circuit for the time being, put it on the car and she started and idled. Gained one and a half inches of manifold vacuume over the 1150. I added a round on each of the fuel / air screws from my bench setting for my highest reading ( out 2.5 turns each). I set the throttle blades at .020 t-slots showing prior to installation, and never changed them, also did not drill the blades. She idles at 1400 rpm clean. Goes against the chip clean, free revs clean, The exhaust note is so different my teenage daughter Sami came out to see what I had changed, and the neighbors eyes sure got large when she black tracked down the driveway. We will see how she runs friday night here in Tulsa, before heading to Sallisaw on saturday.

Thanks everyone.
