Who here has gone froma Eddie to a Holley?

Goody, the acc pump should be close in the "shortest shot" slot, mainly because of the convertor..But, if the secondary door is too loose, there isnt enough airflow thru the secondaries (because of small displacement and low rpm) to pull the fuel thru and keep the mixture where you want it. You can tighten the door, and let the airspeed thru the carb increase better before it's open, or you can add some pump shot to try to accomodate the lean rpm window. I would tighten that door first, if you are in nuetral, and snap the throttle wide open, the secondary air door should not open more than a small amount before you let off. If it opens easy with no load, it's falling open under load, and making a huge lean spot.

Greaser, please dont quote anything, or use "Pinks" as a reference...As fun as the show is to watch, there isnt much usable info on it, other than to see what people are like under stress and huge egos...lol.

No carburetor can be expected to be right for a package out of the wrapper, unless it s a factory numbers resto and #s correct carb for the application. And that's only because the factory already did the tuning for you. I'd wager any carb, even if you think it's good now, cant be improved upon if nothing was tweaked out of the box for you. I've met a lot of people who really dont realize how good "right" is on a carbureted vehicle..lol.
