I have the accel circuits set such that I don't go lean with a big shot of throttle. Once the weather warms up I will try some thicker wire. I am finding it a little hard to check the WOT settings, cause 110 mph comes up too damn fast on this car. I still need to check the idle vacuum to make sure the power valve isn't contributing at idle.

I don't wan't to change out air bleeds, because the Holley books are saying that is a good way to ruin a carb. They also say it is a pretty good indication you have the wrong carb. I am starting to think maybe a bigger cam will make the carb just right

There is a good bit to getting the carb right.

I still think a vac secondary would be a better choice in this application.
Vac sec is the way to go for a dd.
