Carbed car question

Oldschoolpony · 04-10-2002, 01:25 AM

Im running a 347 11 to 1 comp. and vic jr intake with a 750 B&G carb,
My question is what do you all have in your carb's?
Mine:

78 front jet
80 Rear jet
2.5 power valve
35 squirter.

Remember that everyone will have different jets and the carb will be tuned different depending on altitude and humidity and the likes. What runs good for a carb here in Edmonton probably wont work as good for you.

My 10.7:1 351W had a 750DP with 76/78 jets, 6.5p/v, and 32squirter (but I think I redrilled that bigger), with a 50cc pump.

2.5 PV is kinda low... what cam? whats the idle vac.?

Oldschoolpony · 04-10-2002, 01:26 PM

around 600 lift, and 244 dur@ 50 in and 613 lift 255 dur @ 50 ex.

havent checked vac, but probably no more than 10 or 11 inches even lower

Dark Knight · 04-10-2002, 10:43 PM

so... you'd be better of with a 5.5 PV.. and spread the jetting a little more... the PV is the same as 8-10 jet sizes... it's really worth it if you can get some time on a dyno with an A/F monitor...

it was dyno'd and tuner said he liked it a little rich, ran 430.8 RWHP @ 6500, but you can smell the exhaust and im wondering if i cant squeeze a little more out of it

Dark Knight · 04-11-2002, 09:23 AM

did you get a copy of the A/F ration thru thr RPM range?
on a DP, you can unhook the secondaries.. get the primary side right.... then hook them back up and tune the secondaries ;-)

Honestly, go to a Chevy site and post the same question only say a 350 with the same hardware and you'll get a billion responces.
