hope it helps..
Gotta try and tune mine. Holley 750dp has a large vacuum at the rear (firewall side) that I use, correct?
Any port on the carb or the manifold that has full manifold vacuum. I disconnect my brake booster and hook up there.
I would go off carb base or intake manifold vacuum port.
I don't know why not, as long as it is full manifold vacuum. You do not want to use the timed port (for dizzy vacuum advance) as long as you get full manifold vacuum it should be fine.
I just re-tuned mine today.
You are talking about the port on the back of that Eddy?
Yep, same carb you sold me n Pops. I just chkd the Eddy manual and it states to adjust with screws, but I would rather use the gauge.
So simply adjust each idle mix screws until max vac is reached without increasing idle rpm right?
Timing first. Especially initial/idle timing.
Timing affects carb settings. Not the other way around.
Anything at the Carb throttle blades,of below is manifold vacuum,as is Bad Sport's intake runner reference
. Highest idle speed non smog ,works as well. Set the damn timing first. Cams need more initially, possibly up to 14-22. Thanks to Crackedback on timing,still Need to light mine back up.Ask questions,be patient. Ig takes days here,it took me years.
