Leaking Venturi Boosters / Edelbrock Performer 1404

After reading numerous posts on various sites the problem was the idle set too rich and fuel was by passing the Idle Discharge Port on the bottom of the throttle blade!!!

You need to adjust one idle mixture screw for the highest hg reading then the other one, after that go back and set your idle and repeat until the fuel stops pouring in the venturis and you have a good idle. Also advancing the distributer a bit will help with this problem as well.

Need to do some fine tuning now with the metering rod springs and I think 15hg of vacuum is too much??? Oh yeah, went out and bought a Vacuum Gauge which I can also use to check fuel pressure! :read2::love7::cheers:
