Lynn,
Yes.
The adjustment for the accelerator pumps are snug against the pump levers. The diaphrams are all OK. Good thought and thanks!

David,
Your jets sound correct. I am using 64 & 67 in the Holley now. It appears that I am running a little on the lean side when inspected the plugs. I am not too concerned with it as I am also running 89 octane gas. It seemed like a good idea for a little insurance until I was able to get the correct jetting and timimg set, especially the total timig. I need to avoid any detenation problems.

I can drop back to 87 when this is finalized, 9.0 CR. I do realize that the 87 will have a small effect idle caused by the fuel burning increased amount.

To be perfectly honest, I also simply decided to stop any more investment in jets for a carb I anticipated replacing. The Holley is eight years old and old technology.

Demon came with 70 & 78 standard. I am thinking it a waste of time to start with jets that high. I am considering say, 66 front & 70s or 72s rear. Timing at 16 initial, total 36-37 in at 2,600 -2,800.
I just need Air Borne to get the claim settled so I can get the new base plate shipped in from BG and get started.
