Eddy's can easily go 3 sizes leaner on the secondary. No metering rod restriction. Lately guys have been telling me they've dynoed as far lean as 107/089.

Which eddy 750, the smoggers with the electric chokes or the non smoggers with the mechanical chokes?
If the smoggers look at each plug from a WOT pass at the end of the track to tune off of up
The OEM Carters had a much smaller jet in the right hand side secondary jet(.069 diameter), passenger side rear carb. which was needed to prevent flooding # 8 cylinder at WOT work
On your deal with that manifold you probably won't need to do that shruggy
Are you running the linkage like stock or one to one ?
Most drag Radials don't work well on bad tracks, they are faster than the same size bias ply tires on a good track.
Your close to reaching your goal and have the parts needed to get the job done, go have fun and test until your happy up

Cab, they are mechanical chokes. I run them progressive. I've never raced it 1:1.

If you can unbolt your headpipes and slide em over so you can run open headers, you'll have your 10 sec timeslip. Hemis hate mufflers.
Nice car!!!

laugh2my brother said the same thing! I'd really like to get some solid 10s the way it's driven on the street though. I know I'll get it, I just don't get enough time to go to the track. Thanks for the compliment Chip, you're rig is tops in my book! thumbs

If I were to guess I'd say close to 3800. I'd like to get it weighed tho.

Before or after they were made by Edelbrock?

Great car! Good luck in your quest. I'm not a HEMI guy, but you may want to look at your spark plug wires. The video sounds like you have spark jumping around. Our N/SS car did the same thing last time out. I started it in the garage at home afterwards, and the spark is jumping all over the place from burnt wires. May be worth a look.

I also run a 69 RR that has a 496 wedge, Source CNC Stealth Heads, a small solid roller, and weighs 3850 with me in it. It just went 11.07 @ 122.8. I'm in the same boat. I don't have a roll bar though and am concerned that I'll get booted if I continue my quest. I was hoping for solid 11.50's, and got more than I bargained for! Cool weather at Cecil County with some carb fiddling should get me there.

above is obviously not the rr! Sorry for the confusion. It's the N/SS that needs plug wires! Thought it was the video.

You might want to test different foot stall RPM and different shift points on the motor to find out what it really likes scope twocents

It's a good place to be. I never thought I'd be stuck at this same point for quite this long, but does it bother me? All things considered, not a bit....Good running, nice looking car you got there.

Thank you Zippy! I appreciate that. I'm very content on how well it runs. But I'm this close with a handful of passes on it since the build was completed 2 years ago. This is my first Hemi and I think it will go into the 10s the way it sits with a little carb work. Once I get it, I'll stop laugh2

They work well in pairs and I understand the "look" thing but a w/b is your friend..........Runs good and a couple of tweaks and 10's will be there............. thumbs

My roadrunner knocked off an 11.04 first pass with the 511. Figured shoot, it's just gonna run 11.0's. Next pass was 10.95, then 10.92. Feels good when you get it, even if it is only by a little! Street car with no roll bar. Nice ride you have, keep tuning!
