It is not a time to work on the carb issue. It is a time to get parts issue for each next step.

I started this carb change not wanting to get a tool box full of jets and air bleeds, and not relearning carb tuning. So much for that. I have read up on the Holley tuning and feel comfortable which things to tweak, and my tool box is filling up with each step.

This should be straight forward. My engine is a pretty standard big block.

Quickfuel tech support and Holley tech support are hit or miss. Some of their answers make sense and some sound like the guy is late for lunch and throws out the first thing he can think of.

I will filter all "expert" advice. If it makes no sense or they can't explain how it works, then I am not going to waste my time and money.

More IABs are inbound. I may have them Thursday.

The plan is;
1. Install IABs that are 4 sizes larger
2. One more try with Brent's carb expert
3. One more try with Phil at Quickfuel (not going to waste a call to their tech support)

If the above don't get it, then I will call Brent and discuss.
