Ran each needle down until the motor started to run rough, then backed off until it smoothed out. Been running fine ever since. I will be taking it to my buddy who runs a carburetor tune up shop and races Pro Stock... have him hook me up to his "tune-o-matic" diagnostic machine and dial in the carb and timing and all should be excellente'.
What is the difference with using a carb versus throttle body? Basically, do I just take the throttle body the intake manifold and put the carb on? Just wondering if it will bolt right up. I am limited on mechanical knowledge.
I have a edelbrock 1406 on my truck that I can swap out, significant gas difference?
