There is more to tuning a carb, but

This is a great resource for the novice like me.

If anyone wants a PDF of this page, PM me & I'll email it to you. I'd post it, but it's too big (240K).

Sorry, almost forgot-

MPG:

low 20s hwy (Driving like a granny, not mine tho' she's got a lead foot.)
305
700R4
2WD
2.73:1
83 LWB

17 hwy (Easy, easy on the gas)
brand new 406
the rest is the same.

Now, with mods to stock Q-jet carb, I think it's less, but haven't checked.
