Fine tuning my carb

So I went up two fuel jet sizes for my secondaries, and what a difference! unmistakably more powerful once the mech secondaries open. and at 7k rpm, still wants to go! love my car!

I love the sound of the mech secs opening

It's an awesome feeling. I have friends in the car and I say "listen... two barrels.. *push past the opening point*... four barrels!"

Carl, you're awesome!

Cdrad, go forth and kicketh some assmar!

Well first I have to take care of 1984se, which I think I can do now (and probably will do tonite). Then in a few days I'm installing a header and presilencer, plus play with the jets some more, then Mel is on!

Sorry to disapoint you, but it didn't happen yesterday. We had scheduled it for early morning on sunday but I had to take the car to the shop for some adjustments on the exhaust, so we temptatively rescheduled for the evening, but I was never able to get ahold of Wacko. Wacko where are you???????

sorry dude. As I told you yesterday morning, afternoon and night run may not happen as I had to take my family out. But, more than likely, it will be next weekend (long weekend) due to busy work schedule. But since my bro works in Burbank, I will give him your # (if thats OK with you) and go from there. Maybe a lunch date at Glenoaks or Riverside Drive/Fletcher.
