Good morning guys and gals. I have been pretty slammed at work and my other forum as a moderator, but here I am.

Where is the thread on the next g2g?

I have some ideas I would like to bounce around!

Good morning NM! Well I fixed the leaking fuel fittings by wrapping the ever loving **** out of them with Teflon tape. Truck runs fantastic, but that manual Holley is idling pig rich (I guess they tune the electrics to be more lean). It also has the four corner idle, so apparently those are a bit tricky to lean out on mild engines. So I'm going to have to adjust that.

Hope you guys have a good one!

Is it running rich under full throttle? If not then just run wide open all of the time

Haven't road tested it yet. I played around with the idle mixture screws though, and leaned it out. It was leaving the throttle blades soaked with gas (just from idling!). I figured out why it was doing this though: apparently the secondaries were running almost full rich off the shelf!

Not too bad. Going out to Kearney, Nebraska on Friday for the big cruise weekend, so that will be like another little vacation!
