converting to 4 corner idle...worth it?

Thanks for the info - 82-GT

Best of luck with that project

As far as the price goes - unfortunately I have to pay overhead - I have equipment payments, rent, utilities, and what not after that I have to support myself and put gas in my truck, since I earn my living porting heads and fixing carbs - so I don't think that what I charge is necessarily greed - I have to charge what I charge in order to pay the bills. Of course if I was just doing it for fun to practice and I had a full time job, then of course I might be able to lower the price. However if your guy is going to include the parts he's actully doing the labor for free.

By the way your avatar is kool

If you have any problems you can call me 770-460-6102

Denny,

17 posts to date, and I've seen about 10 of them. Seems like you know what you're talking about, and I think you'll bring some good info to us and this board.

Welcome aboard!

Brian, I like the 4 corner idle adjustment just for the simple fact that you can "dial in" the carb alot better. As a matter of physics, the 4 corner cylinders (1-4-5-8) tend to be a bit "lean", and idle screws on the back help out #4 and #8.

Again, just my $.02, but PKRWD is the resident Holley Guru! When the Scarelane is done, I'm sending my 850 to his house!
