I'm wit' you, JHV48. I cranked the idles open to 1-3/4 and made a run to the hardware store - ironically enough, for some door seals to keep garage fumes from getting into the house. Drivability was a tad improved, last trace of bog was gone (call it 3/4 from the cam, last 1/4 from the idles)... but whoo-boy did it stink up my little town all the way there and back. Way too rich.

I think I'm going to pull the carb off this evening and do several things at once, including dropping the primary jets another 2 (to 72) and the secondaries down 2 or 3 (from 84, I think). Check the other vacuum passages, the Idle-Eze, the exact power valve, blah blah blah. Then a baseline back to max vacuum plus a quarter turn, then a good hard haul including some freeway time.

But in the meantime this Response to RFQ is not getting done.
