Default Carb tune question
What happens when you have a slight dribble of gas at idle from the passenger side rear, down-leg booster?

(Holley 4150 HP 750cfm)

Is it from having too much fuel in the rear bowl?
Is it as simple as adjusting the float down a little.

It could be high float level.
It could also be the rear pates are open too much at idle.

Todd,
Call Phil and ask him. How did his carb tune-up turn out?

Phil did a great job on the carb.
I called him, and he said the same thing... adjust the rear float.
Haven't dialed in the car yet to see the real benefit due to the cold and GD snow!
