Scoop/pan design, air pressure and flow do weird things. A friend had a '65 Satellite with a carb pan sealed '65 scoop on it. Car had some inconsistency issues and threw a real curve ball once in a while. He cut away some of the seal, made vents, and the car was a lot more consistent. Can't recall if it picked up also.

That`s my point.........lots of fuel splash on carb top and although it does respond to jetting, 98`s in the rear and 84`s up ft. w/a pv seems excessive to me AND others. After talking w/Mike we thaught it would be good to even extend what I have now and see if the wide band responds. I also thaught about drilling holes in the back of the scoop to release air.......something just don`t seem right and your buddy proved it by venting his. Thankxxxx guy`s.


Maybe its your air filter sticking up into the scoop and directly into the incoming air, creating a siphon on the bowl vents, maybe try a half round deflector on the front part of the air filter
