Transfer/Transition slot adjustment

Alright folks, first of all, thanks once again for all of the great info and assistance. You people never cease to amaze me.

The engine, is a stock 5.9, junkyard motor, converted to carburetor and hei ignition with a distributor from @halifaxhops, BIG thanks to him by the way. We've done really nothing else but slap a 4 bbl on top of an air gap clone intake and call it good.

My mistake on the timing, and it's mine alone, was because it "ran well(ish)" when the transfer slots were almost fully exposed and I had no idea. Reading posts here about the idle mixture screws doing nothing led me to that solution. My son took care of adjusting the throttle plates so they would actally close completely, then at the suggestion we move the timing back to stock (ish), we are now able to idle at around 650, and actually adjust the fuel mixture. Off throttle (stationary) is actually a bit snappy to our surprise.

I've learned more in the last 36 hours about carburetors than I have in the other 51 years, and I've still got about 20 years to go. :)

At this point, we're better but still a long way to go in a short amount of time.
