Assuming you checked for vacuum leaks, and you obviously know your total timing, what is your idle timing at? Higher idle timing will drastically improve signal to the carb. I recommend 22-23° at idle if you can dial that in.

Two, #69 idle air bleeds and one turn out on the idle screws will get you more fuel. I run either #69 or #70 on all my Mopars....They like fuel at idle. Stock is #76....Too lean.

PS...That is the best performing carb I have ever had once I thru out all the jetting it came with and started over. I also went with out any power valves and square 94 jetting and got my idle better by 200rpm.....They say that means I have a vacuum leak, but I looked many times and could not find one. The car has gone 6.13 in the 1/8th geared for the 1/4 so far. I went with #28 HS bleeds from the #34's that it came with as well, but my engine is bigger...

Two people have made me multiple offers on that carb....Kinda weird cause I really don't want to sell it I picked up almost a full 1/10 in just the 60ft from a 1.40 to a 1.326 with mine.....deadly consistent.


Timing is locked out at 36*, I have checked for vacuum leaks and have none, I also have new carb gaskets and new nitrous plate and solenoids(Indutction Solutions sledgehammer plate) that were all sealed with liquid teflon sealer. I will check what my air bleeds are and let you know but I might try your suggestions after I get my wideband gauge on it.
