Don't knownhow any of you guys run the 8896 (3 circuit) without modifications , got four of these & every one of em runs pig rich on a 605" , i've since modified them to a 2 circuit , can't see the point in restricting the intermediate circuit to clean it up considering the main well is restricted anyhow , who gets good results from the 3 circuit dommies , OK they may run but they ARE pig rich.

Not starting a debate as this has been covered untold times , just asking who is happy with them.

I havent had any problem with my 8896.... been on
my 405ci for 4 years(1 was converted to E-85) the
other 8896 is setting in my trailer... it ran fine
but I dont do alot of cruising... its mainly idle
or WOT with some cruising in the pits

Is it rich at full throttle or just part throttle? Mine was very rich for part throttle and needed a PV in the front and work on the metering blocks as well as lot's of air bleed tweaks to clean up. I wouldn't have known what to do but Dwayne (fast68plymouth) did

what did you do other than adding a PV? and what did your jetting end up being?

---

I didn't make the Mod's, Dwayne did. Inside the metering block there is some air bleeds that were added. I think it was to restrict fuel flow for the intermediate circuit. Jetting ended up staggered. I recall I was 92 sq with no PV and somewhere around 87 and 98 after the PV was added but don't quote me on that. It also took lot's of dinking around on the dyno messing with air bleeds to get the part throttle A/F ratio correct at part throttle. Don't even ask where we ended up, I recall I didn't have what it needed so some were drilled out to make what it needed. Dwayne is the Da Man!

I won't bore you with the mods i carried out to clean it up but it now runs crisp & clean throughout the rpm range , if you jet the intermediate circuit down then the main circuit won't flow enough fuel , kind of defeats the object don't you think? , as has already been said numerous times , these 3 circuits are maxed out over a 94/96 jet (main well restricted) , i'm talking real world here as i've tried a few of these 3 circuit dommies , they load up @ idle/transition , what's the point of trying to clean the plugs on the start line? , are you using a 3 circuit Quicktree? , if so i don't think a pump cam swap will get you sorted.

yes it's a 8896-2

---

If i remember correctly these 8896-2s come out the box with 6.5 PVs back & front with 88 squared jetting , i removed the sec PV with MJs @ #92P/100Sec , i also fitted 2 circuit blocks with modifications to the main well, booster pins , cross over channel...........................

I would bet any 3 circuit out the box will run rich on 99% of motors.

this one had a PV in the front. I removed it and square jetted to 93s. I may have to go back and put the PV back. I want to try the white cam first just to see what happens. I reduced the maine to 91 square. looks like it will take a little work to dial it in.

Good luck

Just for fun (5 minutes work) , change out the 3 circuit metering block gaskets for 2 circuit & swap the intermediate/IAB bleeds over , bet it runs like a top.

Unless you make mods to the metering block it be rich at part throttle. You can get idle circuit and WOT working with jetting and air bleeds, part throttle is another story. Squared and no PV will never work for part throttle. Mine is an 1150 3 circuit.

Remove the metering block to main body gaskets & go fit a set of gaskets off a two circuit carb , (4150 gasket will do) , what this does is block off the intermediate circuit , reason being the two circuit has the hole already blocked off , no other mods are needed appart from removing the idle air bleed to the intermediate blkeed location , you have got the screw in bleeds?

It will just save you a bunch of time messing with the pump cams , most it will take is ten minutes , you can always put it back to baseline setting afterwoods.

Dominator conversion

Interesting article , but to save Quicktree all the drilling & jetting with that modification he can just change the gaskets for now & that will show the problem lies in the intermediate circuit , tis quick & easy with no drilling , when he's happy he's nailed the overly rich situation he can then cut & drill the carb.

yes it has screw in bleeds. I 'll try it. so you say to swap the idle and intermediate bleeds?

---

Just remove the 4 outboard bleeds & move them to the middle , in effect you will be removing the middle bleeds & replacing them with the outer bleeds , nothing will have been done to the carb that can't be put back to baseline settings again.

I'll sure try it, nothing to lose.
