one thing that might be of help to you with running a carter is removing the springs from the metering rod plungers.......right now I'm running one on my bridge ported 12a and it helped alot to keep the engine from going too rich. also by doing this you can tune your mixture somewhat with the rods. and right now I can't remember the jet sizes I'm using and somewhere I have a really good tuning guide on the carter/performer carb. if I find it I'll try to post it for you.

it works but not too great the primaries are too large to get good throttle response but the secondaries use an airvalve that limits secondary airflow (kinda like a holley vac secondary carb but better design). plus another thing is the metering rods they only have some very large steps on them so finding one that works good is impossible. Also the metering rod plunger springs all of them are too stiff to work with the vacum pulses and clatter like hell at idle.
BUT I figured I'd try it to see how it does.....you never know.
