I was talking with some friends the other day about idle at a light in my 225. They said that going from the current oe Carter 1 barrel to a 4-barrel carb setup would smooth out the idle. Should I call 'bs' on that ?
Yes, because it is BS. Swapping to a 4bbl on an otherwise-stock Slant motor is a big and ongoing waste of time, money, effort, knuckle-blood, and gasoline, and it damn sure doesn't "smooth out the idle". If your idle isn't smooth, it's because something's the matter. See tune-up parts and technique suggestions in this thread.
