Reverse Jetting

IRISH RT said

So what engine are you running 98s on , I need a mininium of 104 on a worked 360, its so hard to read plugs these days with all the additives in current fuels, so trying to tune by the seat of my pants my first jet combo yielded more more power through the range ,have done a couple of thousand miles on the street with my first combo , just dont know if its a little lean for the 1/4,

Can you use a carter strip kit on edelbrock carbs???

My car is a daily driver so that would make a difference because I tune for fuel economy.
I have a stock block 318 with 1 5/8 tubes, 3" collectors and 2.5 pipe through flowmasters.
I do know the car feels a little stronger if it's a hair richer. 13-13.5 or so.
The thing I don't like about plug color tuning is that you pretty much have to have a wide open area of road to do do it right, because it throws your readings off if you run the engine in any range other than the range you are testing for.

Since I have an A/F guage I use that for getting it dialed in and then use seat of the pants and plugs to get it where I want it.
For example, if I try to run 14 to 1 or higher on the idle it gets kind of squeemish feeling and misses a little (until it is FULLY warmed up)
At about 12.5 or 13 it idles nice and smooth as soon as the choke releases all the way.

I personally don't know about the Carter kit.
