Idle screw question. Rich or lean?

Right, because I doubt you have 9 or 10 inches of vacuum at a cruise and to unscrew the power valve timing requires the rest FP the car to be fixed.

12many did an in-depth post in this forum about correcting power valve timing and his real world results. Worth the read if you look it up.

I’ll go out on a Lomb and say your carb is nowhere close to being tuned if you are using a 6.5 power valve.

You are crutching the overrich condition by opening the power valve very late.

Which is one of the reason guys get hideous fuel mileage with a Holley. And the blame lies directly with Holley for allowing just one of many idiotic tuning issues continue for DECADES.


Okay. I read the calculation was idle vacuum divided in half minus 2. I didn't know there was a giant way to set them. I'll look it up

Besides the idle dip when I push the clutch in coming to a stop the car doesn't seem to be overly rich?
