Big Block C20 Running Rich...Holley 750
I have a Holley 750 ( https://www.holley.com/products/fuel...arts/0-80459SA ) on the 454 in my c20 and it has run rich since I put it on there. To the point where it burns the eyes when the truck is sitting there idling.
I have set the idle mixture screws with a vacuum gauge to achieve the highest reading. I am thinking that I might need to step down a few sizes on the main jets. I know I can take it to a shop and have it tuned but I would rather learn something and save some money. The carb currently has size 72 main jets. It runs fine at partial throttle and wide open but I know it's too rich. Plugs are black... Any suggestions on where I should go from here? I don't know much about carburetors on vehicles but I have rebuilt and messed with several on dirt bikes, quads etc so I understand the concepts.
