I got points.
I have sprayed carb cleaner everywhere...except right at where the carb mounts to the intake.

The spark plugs I got in there now are only 6 months old. I'm getting ready to read them. I also have a brand new set.

And yeah, there is a lot of pressure when I take the gas cap off.....

Man, I'm just dyin to mess with those (2) brass colored adjustment screw at the front of the carb but I don't even know what they adjust.


Thanks for your help!

One thing at a time.

Start with the fuel psi. It's a well known issue for the Edlebrocks. Just my opinion.
