Re: Edelbrock Carb on 454 Help
That's what ideas thinking, one or the other. I have just the weight and ball installed right now, I'll see how that runs.
I installed the pcv valve and a new breather/filter on the other valve cover. Then changed the vacuum line to manifold vacuum. I turned the idle mixture screws in all the way and backed them out a turn and a half. It seems to be running great. I let it idle till it was at normal temperature and then set the idle screw down a bit to a nice idle. I haven't installed the fuel pressure regulator yet, just got it today and I see I need a brass fitting to cap one of the 2 fuel output ports. So I need to pick one up. I'm not able to take it for a test drive right now, since the barn shop I've been working on it in is on a dirt road and it's been raining the last couple days so the roads are a mess.
Another question though, since I changed over to manifold vacuum, do I have to mess with the timing at all or should it be fine?. It seems to be running great by just switching it over from ported. But I don't want to cause any damage by having the timing off.
