These are the carbs that came with the car .I can only emagine that I have closed off a whole bunch of vacume leaks.I don't remeber having this problem two years ago before I took the car apart. This time, before the plugs fouled , it seemed like a barn burner . I thought I could feel the secondaries open.
I have taken the carbs appart and checked the jets.Primaries are #68 s and secondaries are #74. I beleive I'm over my head here and I could spend all next summer trying this and that. I need someone that is more in the know and equiped.I'm guessing at this point. I had #68 all the way around before the rebuild of the carbs. yeh ,it was fouling plugs then also.It is carring 9-10 inches of vacume at idle and could acctually accelerate at 9 .It has 4.5 power valves now. The floats were where I had set them. The venturies aren't fumeing when engine is stopped and no fuel drueling or wetness as before. The plugs were all sutted up as times before the carb reuild. the idles are just 1/4 turn off the bottms primaries and secondaries and idle is around 700 when warm.I drove around the neibor hood a few times .I came back and picked up my billfold and cellhone.I started for I 5 . As I was getting close, I noticed that it was missing so I didn't enter the freeway. Never got on the freeway just city streets wit posted limits of around 35mph .Idle wasn't too bad but any thing above was bad .
