Reply to "Carb Tuning"

moosoMember

Dennis, I messed with my carb for years (Holley 750). I got it where it would start and run fine. No real dead spots. Idled fine, but it always smelled rich. I could have continued to run it this way forever, but I knew it was still not as good as it should be.
After asking lots of hod rodders (these guys seem to change intakes and carbs yearly!) I zeroed in on a local mechanic who had a good reputation for carb tuning.
I'm glad I did. The car starts quicker, runs smoother, gets better gas mileage, and doesn't burn your eyes at idle anymore. There is no substitute for having the right knowledge and equipment to dial one in.
I'm a real do-it-yourselfer, but going to a pro to fine tune my carb was worth it to me.
