And just in time for the holleydays, too!

So: What size mistletoe berries should I use with a 7.25" holly spread?

Something that might be useful would be to collect the basic information into a sticky thread or two - general idea would be a step-by-step tutorial on how to get from an out of the box carb to one fully tuned to the engine. Expert advice for those who don't have an O2 sensor/AF meter would be nice, as well as for the better-equipped.

I've done a lot of digging and while it's possible to find most of the steps, a good overall start to finish process, uncluttered by irrelevant opinions, is very hard to find. Even the books are not that good and tend to read like factory boilerplate.

Stickies on things like jet sizes, pump cams, etc. would be nice, too.

Since BG carbs are Holley clones, addressing differences and useful features like Idle-Eze would be useful, too.

A while back I bought an edelbrock carb that came with a carb setup book. It was a great primer for anyone who wants to know how to tweak carburetors

Hyde, how big of a book is it?

Are there on line copies/data?

Inquiring minds want to know...they may not remember, but they want to know.
