Hemi carb linkage tuning - 04/07/19 10:54 PM
Is there a good reference here on Moparts for how to correctly tune a stock dual quad Carter carb set up for the street? Particularly idling and just off idle?
My Hemi runs well, but I do constantly tinker with it. I use a Unisys gage and have both carbs set up so they are contributing equally. I recently read various conflicting posts and stories regarding having the rear carb be the primary, or not. Again, stock linkage. If I did set it up as the rear carb as a primary, how would I know how much is about right?
Before I started using the Unisys to balance the carbs, I was seeing where the front plugs were seemingly a bit leaner than the back, that is what led me to start with the gage.
Thoughts?
