Had Fun dialing in my 48 Dells, and not finished yet.
It's said Dells flow better than Webers, and they like lots of Jet.
The cam, is a big factor here: 533 Lift 318 Dur
Got the floats set, which were way off.
Next, the idle jets, this is where it starts to get interesting, these carbs are gas hungry, I had to go up to 75 on the idlers, and they may still need a little bit more?
The Mains and Airs: I started with 200 airs and 200 mains,
and so far I've got the mains down to 185's. Ran out of time today, I'll play with them some more tomorrow.

i had an 050 with a pertronix in it. worked OK. mallory dizzy and hyfire CDI
BTW - people say that the unilite is easier to tune than the MSD dizzy. and yep, you can hookup the unilite to the MSD 6 box no problem.

That is a lot of duration on that cam. For what it's worth almost all the 48 Dell owners (I have the Tri-Jets) run something like:
40mm Venturi
70idle
180 main
200 Air
.2 E-Tube
With my high CR, close deck height motor I was able to go down to 170 on the mains!
How many turns are your idle screws out? 75 is a BIG idle jet. Not to state the obvious, but be sure to tune the idle circuit when the car is fully warmed up. Otherwise you will always be too rich when warm.

I, am saving up for a MSD, I already have the box(6A) and the wires, and a coil, all thats left is the dist. |
Are you running race fuel by chance? It's different in viscosity then standard pump fuel and may account for your large jets. Other than that I'm surprised by the jet size that thing wants to run. Might want to sanity check your float level adjustment...
Good luck!

Wanna make a trade? I have a barely used* billet Mallory Unilite ($265) with a Mallory HyFire VI-A ($120), new SuperMag 8.5mm wires ($40), new Promaster Coil ($70) and a Mallory spike protector ($34) that I might be selling...... *about 45 miles I am running an aftermarket Fuel Injection and they support MSD products for use with thier stuff, but not Mallory and I'm having some strange problems and might be going to all MSD instead...... |

thanks for the offer, but all my stuff is used, the MSD box was made for GM Nascar teams, as was the 40,000 volt coil, and the wires are heat shielded Delphi- Packard Electric Motorsports, used wires |

More CR will typically attain BETTER MPG through lower BSFC from the added efficiency of the combustion...
I'll bet that engine would make 15-20 HP MORE with 45mm carbs- I have NEVER seen a 48mm carb make more power than a 44 or 45 on any size TIV with stock casting heads, no matter how modified...
Velocity is the answer- Not volume.
I have picked up 25 HP from swapping from a 48mm carb to a 45 on many occasions.
Bigger is not better- Think smart, look at the head flow numbers and you'll see that the heads stop flowing at 65% of the overall carb flow from those monsters and due to the lack of velocity atomization is effected...
Just my 5% worth, now I'm outta here for 3 more weeks so i can get something done!
