Try removing just the 4 inner bleeds. I think those are the high speed bleeds. Removing those should sut down the high speed circuit and any possible influence it can have on the idle circuit. If it cleans up the idle, then at least you have some sort of direction.

8082 is a 2 circuit

stock IAB is 71 and the high speed is 37

i think your tmming is to low.

my procedure is this, with carb off the car, i set throttle blades. install carb then set timming to desired idle rpm. if it wants 22* then i adjust dist to get the disired advance or lock it out. mine is basically at total at idle

yes sir--thats whats in it--

i should be able to fine tone my dist when the kit arrives.


maybe my idle mix isnt as bad as i think.....i usually run the car in the garage...YES, the door is open.......


it wont idle unless i have both blades/idle screws at around 2-3 turns and the mix screws around 1.5 turns out.....

i think your exposing the transfer slot trying to raise your rpm when you shold use the dist.

too late to start the car tonight...

But, i cant find any info on my carb its NOT listed on Holleys site!

its a 80823 , 2 circuit idle . Im wanting to know the stock jet size / bleed sizes / pv sizes . Ive searched the web now for 30 minutes.
my int. bleeds are 37 and the idle bleeds are 71




air bleeds are stock
84 jet square stock
6.5 PV front and rear stock( i ditch the rear PV and toss a 90 jet in there but you can see how it runs with it)
nice simple carb

I agree with sixpackgut. I had the same problem with my 8896-1 Dominator. For the engine to idle it was necessary to open the throttle plates to far and it left the transfer slots completely exposed. I ended up drilling small holes in each throttle plate to correct the concern and increasing ignition timing.

It sounds like your idle mixture is set correctly at this time. Mixture screws 1 1/2 turns out from seated is the correct normal range, Fining tuning can be done later but thats pretty close for now.

Well, i re-curved the dist today with the Mallory kit. Now ive got 20 initial / 35 total. The curve starts around 1300 and is all in by 2500. I also welded the pickup plate--the pickup was moving up and down because of the vac adv. lever, enough to really alter the air gap.

I was able to adjust the carb a little-not much . Its nice and responsive blipping the throttle at 1,000 rpm .


Now if i could just get to the dam track!
