The biggest disasters of Doms on the street, is when they're on small cam engines with tons of vac, that they don't belong on in the first place.


Exactly.

Can they be made to work on that application?
Sure....... just realize you’re way outside the box for what the carb was designed for........ so expect to have to mess with it.

A Dominator can be made to run very well on the street, even with a small cam. The big issue is what casting is it, when was it made, and where and how big the t-slots ended up. The best to use are the early non HP bodies that had the smallest t-slots. Also any that BLP put t-slot plugs in. And of course either an APD or BLP billet body. Some of the HP castings had slots in the wrong place or too big, they can be more difficult to get dialed in. Look for a casting with slots under .026 wide, and with the bottom of the slot at the top of a completely closed throttle blade. And make sure it has not been filed on, it is required on rare cases but makes it tough to get right at low speeds.

Drilling holes in the blades help you stay off the transfers when they've been molested.

I would, and do up restrict the idle fuel feed and transition fuel feed in the main body before drilling the throttle blades to lean the mixture out scope wrench twocents
