I just got the new engine running and the cam in this one is much larger than the Mr Six Pack cam that was previously in the 440.

Now the cam is 240 degrees duration at .050" lift. So when I first started it up the 6.5 PV was open and dumping alot of fuel through the exhaust it would burn the eyes.Initial is 20 degrees with a MSD 6 box and firecore wires NGK 5670 plugs in a #7 heat range. Vacuum is very low but the power brakes still work........

I started Toms setup except I have a 160 Tstat for now. Jets are 66 in the center and the springs in the secondary carbs are the yellow striped IIRC its been years since I put them in there.

Anyway Idle is great now with the PV currently plugged. From dead idle to wot is crisp, pull out of wot to idle is smooth. Car starts great and cruises great no smell of raw fuel out the tailpipes.

My question is this, I believe with the 66 center jet its kinda helping not having the PV in there. What do you think?
