Is it moving before it stumbles... if so try jet
extensions on the rears

You would need to see if its blowing black on the
stumble... if so jet down... if it isnt I would jet
up... but normally in the heat you need to get down

Does the front end lift more so than before?....if so try lowering the front float height , maybe join the vents with some rubber tube (put a couple of holes in it)

Earthmover , was it just pinion angle that got the front up so much more?

yes i had a + reading at first then cut everything out lower the car in the back with the front hangers and went - and whooooooooa this thing is night and day....like i said at first i could take the car down the road and leave it would burn the tire a good 20' and now nothing else but the angle and lower and i try to leave and the car lefts and bogg and when i got home i checked the slicks wrincles all around both and never had that even at the track...now it jumps just like a frog so i do think i will have some better 60' and et once i get the new found bogg out of it... it woyuld 60' i the 1.66 range with ss springs

Check the accelerator pump arm adjuster settings,(both if it is a double pumper) hold the throttle at wide open and adjust the screw so you can barely get a .015 feeler gauge in between the pump arm and the adjuster bolt head In other words it(the pump arm and accelerator pump diaghramm) should have a of maximum .015 more travel at WOT

hay cab i checked the carb (gap) and it dont have any gap at all..i shoot some carb cleaner through the air bleeds and it help it out alot as far as crisp just havent had the time fro a drive down the road yet i wish it had the air bleeds that i could change but it is what it is, and right now theres no cash for a new main body...i also want to ask you guys about a vac. gauge...i have 1 and plan to hook it up and check things over but have never done it and the inst. is for a stock type motor i guess only tells you if it reads this is bad if it reads that adjust this type of info....im not sure but want the cam lift and things like that make it a little diff. from just the normal????so how do i go about reading the gauge?????to set the carb upa little better....and noe the carb has 31 shooters and was told to try some 37. oh and it has the pink cam init fr/bk in the #1 hole not sure if thats what it should be
