I have a 74 2.0 with the following engine setup:
Stock displacement
Euro Pistons
8.3:1 Compression
9550 Camshaft and valve train etc
Ignition is a Mallory Dizzy from Chris with wires
and the Mallory Ignition box is not installed yet.
Fuel,
Weber Carburators new 40 IDF
28 Ventures
55 idle
115 Emulsifier
(not looking for a discussion about the 9550 with carbs)
Timing now 25 degrees adv
I set the car at 2500 feet above see level with 27 degree timing and 93 octane fuel.
I drove the car cross country to CA and trough different altitudes and then with 91 octane, so my heads started getting too hot, actually never too hot, so I had to go down to 25 degrees, with the consequents of power loss.
Lately I have even more power loss and the car is loud and misfiring.
So here my question,
what would be the best carb set up for that engine
and how can I tune it right, to the power it should have?
Thank you guys!
