It's been suggested on fordmuscle that my carb. is leaning out on top end due to possible jetting, float levels.
I bought the carb. rebuilt from Ebay but I never checked the floats because I thought it would already be done.
I was told you can't really adjust floats accuratly unless it's on the car. I'm going to check them and the filters.
If the flaots are too low, the pump might not be able to keep up on the top end.
These new low end numbers are good enough for 12's now but I just have to get this fuel problem solved.
