Re: Valve Cover / Breather Configuration
I'm not sure what exactly is correct either. My car runs great but has always ran rich, no matter what carb (Holley 600) adjustments I make. Someone told me that if I did away with the breathers, it would force the motor to suck more air through the carb and maybe help the richness problem. It sounds good in theory to me but I really don't know and am afraid to start tinkering with it because it does run good as is. But it runs so rich that it burns your eyes after being started anywhere near the garage. I think I am going to try a new carb in the near future and hopefully help the richness problem.
Thanks man. David Fulford
