carb issues

[rwhite65]

Ok, this has gotten so involved, have you told me how to adjust the idle mixture with the Vacuum gauge, because I am not remembering for sure on that one.

I took the bowl and front metering block off. Cleaned thoroughly, used new gaskets, and installed a fuel pressure gauge. I have a consistent 5.5- 6 lbs of pressure.

Notice two things in the picture. The idle speed screw is adjusted so much, my butterflies have exposed the transfer slot, which I have read is bad. Problem is I am not sure how to fix it. Also notice the 3 tears in that gasket. I have no idea what caused that.

Put it back together with a new carb/intake gasket....got my good exhaust note back. Now I just need to adjust the idle mixture screws properly...try to get the butterflies down, and test drive. I would have test drove tonight, but I got to get to work.

PKRWUD-
Plugging the Vacuum advance or its tube had no effect on it before I took the carb off and worked on it.
Thanks,
Ryan

Good News! IT drives so sweet now. I now have more Vacuum at idle, up 1" and there is no stumble thru any part of the power band. I have a slight hesitation off the line during hole shots, but it is really hard to tell now that I have some serious traction issues. I have no doubts it will be resloved also with help from Chris.

Looks like I need to try and get the trac loc working so I can make it to the fun day at the track on the 15th. I am also going to try and get the header welded up to get me thru the season, then I will get some new ones this winter. Any suggestions guys?
