Once you get the carbs done.....and tuned.... are you going to pre-lube that motor or do anything else to it before you fire it up?
1970 Plymouth 'Cuda #'s 440-6(block in storage)currently 493" 6 pack, Shaker, 5 speed Passon, 4.10's 1968 Plymouth Barracuda Convertible 408 Magnum EFI with 4 speed automatic overdrive, 3800 stall lock-up converter and 4.30's (closest thing to an automatic 5 speed going)

OK, so when I get the leak fixed whats the best way to adjust and tune the carbs now that they are all rebuilt and out of wack with one another?
Thanks for any advise!

I guess you should start by turning the mixture screws all the way in then back out 1 turn. Un-hook the outboards and start the car, let it warm up then turn the idle up to about 2400rpm UNHOOK your vac advance and set you timing. I'd start at 36* total. Then back the rpms down to about 900 and turn the mixture screws out until you get the best vaccum reading. Then hook up the outboards. If it starts to race adjust them so the doors are shut. Go for a spin. Depending on your cam and set-up you might need to adjust the outboard springs and/or PV.
