Not the most encouraging info, is it? LOL.

Thanks for the link though. The more info I cna get, the better decision I can make.

ps: I used to use 6.5 PVs in mine, then bought a pair of new carbs from a known carb modifier that had 5.5s in it. I recently had to re-build those carbs and put the 65s that came with the kits in as the 5.5s measured around 3 in Hg. I think I have about 15 in Hg, maybe 16....can't remember at the moment. At 17, and you have 85s, I wouldn't worry about it unless you get a rich spot during acceleration. I suspect if you hook up a vacuum gauge and drive around under cruise to moderate acceleration, and make sure you select PVs below your min vacuum under those conditions, you'll be fine.
