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).

Joe,
Sorry if this is hijacking your thread a little.

Jim,
Thanks for the insight. I will unplug the tee form the back of the advance unit and try it vented.

It`s all good Chis. Thanks for all your help. Last night I took my carbs out and pre-set everything on a bench. I re-installed them and the car seems to run real good. Today I am going to make a bracket to hook up the throttle cable and than I will adjust the drop linkage. Thanks for all the help everyone.
