Patrick, an off idle question. 4160 on my '67 'Vette. Car starts great, runs great, idles great, but even a modestly brisk touch of the accelerator pedal and the car dies. So off idle response is zip. Correct squirter is a 26, I think. Moving to a 31 didn't help. can't recall the color of the cam, nor what is called for (it's a list 3180...and Holley tech couldn't tell me what cam was correct). I think the issue is the cam, but could this be a float issue or timing?
I need to confirm that the advance weights are moving, but the "pump shot" is good (even tried a new a/p diaphragm). Any thoughts? thanx. steve
(oh, yeah, my Cobra is still for sale).
