Default A loooongway out

It was a long way out because the previous owner messed with it. Given the car was 4 years old and only had 1100 miles, it needed a good cleaning. For anyone who has experience working on carbs, its pretty easy to tell when someone was in there ahead of you. Wrong jets, wrongpower valves, accelerator pump out of adjustment. Floats out of adjustment....etc. I entertained replacing it but enjoy a good challenge. One full rebuild kit,hi flow power valve for the primaries and blocked off the power valve for the secondaries. I even contacted Rush because I thought an 870 cfm would be to bigon a 427r. Runs like a top now.
