Quad carb setup information help

So I got some needed data tonight with my engine. I started it up and left it warm up real good. Once it was at normal operating temp I checked the timing and I am at 14* base and all in at 34*@3300 rpm. Then I checked vacuum at idle and I am at 8.5 at idle or 975 rpm. I kept the backend of the car sticking outside the garage door so I couldn't really tell if it was as rich as last week. probably had it idling 20 minutes or so and it didn't load up and its very responsive to acceleration. Now a couple more things that have been ask, the idle air bleeds appear to be changeable which is a good thing. I am attaching a few pics to show that and carb # and also a pic of the secondary plate even tho I'm not anywhere close to secondary yet but this way I have the pic posted for later. Ill order a pin set as I couldn't find one anywhere today or a small drill set. So let me know what other info I need to grab to get help moving foreard. Also I'm not in a big hurry as it was only 18* tonight when I got this info.
Thanks Rod

There are two ways to change those bleeds. Pull them out and replace them with bleeds just like that. I think you can buy them from BLP. Or you have to drill them out and use set screws.


You need to be 22 or so initial at idle. A little more won’t hurt but it’s hard to get the curve right when it’s that short and you don’t have a machine to play with it on.
