Gun Doc,

First and foremost make sure your carbs are sync'd, the fuel pressure is 2.5-3.0 psi, and the timing is correct, and freshen the plugs. You should be able to get the air flows exactly the same, make sure when you reconnect the short arms or cross arm (depending on the linkage system type) that tie each bank to the bellcrank that you put no pressure on the linkage system.

When and only when you get the above done, I would start by dropping the idle jet, I have a similar setup to yours and I run a 55 idle. The idle jet size is affected by the amount of vacuum your engine makes, your cam sounds mild like mine so a smaller idle jet will be better. You list the air corrector at .120, I suspect you mean 1.20, this needs to be increase to 60 points above your main jet to start. The 145 main is about right, I use a 150/210 for the mains.

Do you know the size of your accel pump bypass jet?

Keep us posted on your progress
