Curious about how to set the carbs up.The timing is close but may be out slightly.I started by turning the air mixture screws all the way in and than backing both off by 2 1/2 turns to start. I let the car idle and than I move 1 side until the car runs rough than back off the other way about 1/2 turn.I did the same for the other side. It runs ok but pops through the exhaust every now and than.It gets better when I take the throtle linkage off.I think my biggest problem is seting the idle speed screw. Is there something I should do prior to starting any other alignment?I read the procedure but I am stumped. What typically causes it to pop through the exhaust?I did check the vacum on both sides and they are real close ( within 1 of each other).

Flip the carbs side for side and flip the linkage around.
It will be a lot easier to get it tuned....and you will need tokeep tuning... Also...I am not a huge fan of the drop links you have that came with the kit...they seem a bit loosey goosey...might make it really hard to get them perfect. Tune the linkage with one drop link in place....get it running great. Then...ever so gentle, put the other link in place so it takes no pressure to attach the link...it should fall into place...no pushing up or down on the cross bar arm, or the carb. Rich |

Rich It looks like I have the same drop linkage as Chris. It is what came with the kit and I agree that it is not great. I did see a cool setup and I want to look into it deeper to see if it something I can make at my shop. See pic below. If I cant make it I will stay with what I have for now. As for now I am going to to flip the linkage around to face the other side and tune it. ![]() |
