When you snap the throttle open. Can you see the spring compressing?
I will have to look next time I am messing with it. The accel pump has a red spring. I know when I move the throttle at all (without the engine on) I can hear it squirt fuel.

The shooter (squirter)should have a two digit stamping on it. The stamping would be on the side that is facing the middle of the carb. (28=.028", etc.) I have a carb that both squirters came from QF with no stamping which means .031" to them.
Note: the larger the squirter the "quicker" it will deliver the fuel and visa-versa. Do you have any extra squirters to try?

Nope. But, it is raining here and is supposed to rain through Saturday so I couldn't try anything out even if I wanted to.

Is there any advantage to this kind of squirter: http://www.holley.com/121-135.aspversus this kind of squirter: http://www.holley.com/121-35.aspI currently have the style similar to the 121-135. What kind of jetting on the primary and secondary is just so high that it would indicate that I need to start looking for other sources for problems? My highway ping is still there (though it seems better in some ways) and I'd like to fix it.

Did you confirm that the fuel is squirting as soon as the spring is depressed? I had a vacuum secondary carb that I had to shim the primary side spring to get it to work properly too. -------------------------------------------
""My highway ping is still there (though it seems better in some ways) and I'd like to fix it.""
If you are still getting the ping at highway cruise/WOT, and since you are running the orange pump cam, then a larger squirter would delivery that pump shot quicker. I would try a 035 or a 040 (with hollow screw) for your next testing. If one of these fixes the ping, then you can back down on your main jetting as long as your plugs are looking good. Your pump cam might get smaller too with the bigger squirter. It appears that it wants more fuel but the guess is "when" it wants more fuel. BUMP for the reference on the 440/750 (Holley #80508S) jetting.
--------------------------------------------- I found this info about the straight versus tube online: The "straight" type are basically first design, and are for straight boosters. The "tube" type was developed to aim a straighter stream of fuel against the booster, usually a dropped booster venturi. As the fuel hits the booster venturi, it atomizes better than the straight type.
I have also read that most cases you can use the style that the carb came with.

Yes, it is squirting right away. The spring compresses and then slowly lets out.

If it is pinging at WOT I cannot hear it. The ping starts when I am running around 75mph in 3rd and have to increase the throttle a tad to go up hill or pick up speed a little more. Then it rattles like a coffee can full of bolts. I would guess engine speed is about 2700rpm based on gear and tire size. Engine vacuum is still over 15inhg when this happens. If I get into the throttle more I can make the rattle go away. I'm guessing still to lean on the primary side. I'm currently still running the 78 jets on the primary and 84 on the secondary. I did drive the truck today and will check some plugs when I gethome. Quote:

Mine came with the straight types, so I guess I'll go with that.

Try turning the vac can 3 turns CCW w a 3/32" allen wrench
Vac can is completely disconnected. I'm still trying to sort this out so I can then reconnect the vacuum advance and then go through all of this again.

The Q (to me) is is it a lean prob or timing. I'd suspect timing (if your octane is adequate). I'm wondering if a slightly stiffer spring combo would help (& I'm assuming your total (w vac adv unhooked/capped as it is now) is correct for the eng family 35-SB 36-38-BB.

Yeah you are not overboard w timing. Holler how it turns out. Didn't read all the posts & dont know if more octane is a practical option for you but that's my guess

""The ping starts when I am running around 75mph in 3rd and have to increase the throttle a tad to go up hill or pick up speed a little more."" Your running Champion RC12YC plugs,high pump octane (93), 9.2 compression, no vac advance, timing at 3500, orange pump cam/031 squirter, 78 primary jets, and you still have pinging at light accel at 2700rpms and 15hg vacuum. HMMMMMM. This problem may get worse as the outside temps go up, unless you are lean. I still suggest that you try the 035 or 040 squirter. My second thought is that the plugs are tooooo hot in the range. ---------------------------------------------- What heat range Champion spark plugs are other members running on the street? Are 12's too hot?

hi what is your cranking compression psi ? per haps you have too much cyl psi ? may need to back off timing to 32-34 deg total .
