Put the carb back together, put it on, it ran the same. I turned the mixture screws all the way in and it immediately idled much better. Its much more responsive, will handle full throttle and will rev clean to 2500 rpm or so, after that it pops through the carb and backfires through the exhaust.

It did run REALLY rich on the 302, but not too much on the 440.

I picked up a power valve, gonna put it in tonight after class. Cross your fingers for me.

Now I need to pin those needles, got to feel that heat
