Hey Priobe:
It has been a while. Hope you are well.
Let me see if I can answer your question. The 42 throats are great. The setup that Jim Inglese helped me do runs great. I am pretty sure that the 65 idle jet with 100 holders will run well with the proper A/F ratio. Right now I am running the idle circuit a bit rich on the mixture screws (1 1/4 turns out) to eliminate the decel backfire. It should lean out to just right when put back to 3/4 - 1 turns.
I had my exhaust system completely redone this past year. The flanges were ground flat to mate to the exhaust header. I also had the loose slip fit 4 into 1 collectors cut out and replaced with welded collector plates. Currently I have leaks at the collectors. I need to remove the system, rewrap the pipes with new exhaust wrap, and replace the header gaskets and the collector gaskets with the Remflex gaskets. Since that all costs money and I lost my job back in July of 2009, I will have to wait. Therefore, I run the idle circuit rich for now.
Besides fixing the backfires, running a bit rich makes the car a bit sluggish in the early RPMs. The car really runs strong when you get into the mains. When I am working again, I will try the F11 tubes which Jim says work very good with our light cars and will bring the mains in a bit earlier for more power.
