Quote:I'd replace the needle/seat assys (good ones) and lubing the black rubber O ring integral to them before installing/dry set the float levels/check for float mechanism hanging up in it's range of travel/waterlogged float/idle psi too high/good filter. You might come away cheap
but I had it flood over a few times on occasion. They seamed to not stay in tune and I thought they were rich...

Quote:x2, you also don't mention how old or abused the carbs are. instead of doing what RR suggested, it might be time to just rebuild them. the kits are about $20 each (you need 3)and contain everything you need except a lower power valve which you will probably need once you pull a vacuum check. i think the kits come with a 6.5.
It's not hard ..I did mine. Never touched a set before. I'd stick w/ the stock jets..maybe go up a size. If you are pulling 15 at idle the factory 6.5 pv wil be fine. make sure the flaots are set right. then turn the idle screws in all the way in. Next turn them out 1.25 turns. start the car and run the idel up to 2400. UNHOOk the vac advance and set the timing in full at 38*. Turn the idle back down to 900, adjust the screws for best vaccum and go for a blast.

, but am learning a lot about these carbs and tuning in general.

I was wondering if I should get the 340 carbs or the 440 carbs ...or...the demons????

Yes, I think I either read that in a magazine or on here some time ago. Anyone know if 340 carbs would work better than the 440 carbs?

Thank you! I will be ordering them in the spring.
