Excaliber,

Don't pay too much attention to all the dooms day comments. You can get your dual 4 barrels to work just fine in the turns.

Everything that What'saCobra? said is correct. However, he left out one very important item. If you don't have the correct floats in a dual 4bbl setup, it will never stop flooding when making hard decelerating turns.

You need to replace all 4 of your floats with the black Nitrolyte floats Part #116-1. Then adjust your floats so the float level is about an eighth of an inch below the leveling sight hole. No gas should come out of the hole until you rock the car side-to-side hard. The gas should splash out of the hole, but not seep out. Don't forget to always rev the engine after each needle valve adjustment to empty the primary or secondary float bowl and let it refill at idle before you re-check the levels.

Instead of using the "vent baffles" which have a tendency to interfere with proper float operation, you can also use a "vent screen" sold by Holley through Jegs or Summit Part #26-39.
