Chad,

Tony "Mustang Mendez" also suggested that my jets may be too big. I'm running a Holley (I know, that's the first problem) 650 double-pumper. Not sure of the jet size as it's whatever came from the factory. Float setting is good as I've been intensively schooled by Tony Mendez and now have that down to a science. I've got the carb leaned out to the point that another 1/2 turn of the set screw will cause the car to bog and sputter for fuel starvation. I think you are right about the jets though. Tony has suggested going down 2 sizes as one size barely makes a difference.

Going to regap the plugs this weekend from .045 back to .035 as well. Then I'm going to retime the car as my new water pump (inlet on the passenger side, current one blocks the timing mark on the drivers side) and Griffen radiator and 9mm Ford Motorsport plug wires arrive on Friday.

Wooooo Hoooooo!!!!

Regards,
