I didn't think the job was over and complete just throwing the new carburetor on my 340..If it could be just as simple haha.
I purchased and used a vacuum gauge to set a point where my car is driveable and stops and idles correctly, however the tuning side of it needs to get done and after making a fair amount of phone calls, no one works on carburetors anymore or tell me they're 4 weeks out from being able to see me. I know that the new carb needs jets upgraded and my electric choke needs to be adjusted and i'm willing to take it on and learn more about it and my motor/air/fuel. You tube has been a friend and was wondering if i need to remove the top plate and check or adjust the floats as the video i watched advised seeing as the carb is brand new.
I'm sure there is no motor build alike, no combination of jets that could possibly work the same as another, but here's to hoping you've been there and do i just keep changing out the jets on a trial and error basis? I'm noticing before i make these changes in jets that my car is running on the warm side and my thought is that with speed and needing more fuel that at rpm's its running to lean and needs bigger jets. I've adjusted back and forth on timing to bring it down, however timing is set.
Here's some info on my 340.
Roller cam - Comp Cams Extreme Energy Retrofit Cam
CCA-20-811-9
Hydraulic Roller, retro-fit
.274/.282 duration
.538/.544 lift
110 lobe separation
10.5 : 1
Is there an advisement on jets or if you're in DFW metroplex that may advise someone who works on carburetors before i get to into the big, but small pieces.
Thank you
