I don't think this is correct but hey you never know...Please forgive my lack of FULL knowledge on this topic. I have a 1/2 phenolic spacer and a 770 cfm Holley Carb.
Tks for the input

Just a thought but, most cars equipped with a turkey pan have a ridiculously
small air cleaner on them that would be appropriate for a riding mower not a 427 cid engine, try removing it if you have that situation. The air cleaner would not make it rich at low throttle application but would at much above that.
