Yeah for a stock motor there's no way she was going to use all of that gas, I went through multiple jets and needles to get it idling smooth and using all the fuel under acceleration, not to mention timing. It was all centered around that damn bog. Now that I have the timing where it needs to be, I'm gonna play with needles and accelerator pump again to dial it in. I'm old school, I tune by driving and exhaust rich/lean smell. Learned from the best as a teen working on dad's Studebakers. I'll get an AFR soon, but she's driving so well (even at altitude!) that I don't care about an extra 10hp here or there. Just happy with smooth power (feels like a 273!) and cold running. I run a 160 thermostat, step up to a 180 in winter. Will also put an electric heat pad under the hyper-pak intake/carb plenum for the winter.
