Yes I wired both chokes open (both are 1904 carbs).
A came across this in depth Edelbrock dual quad tuning guide today.

New jets and rods are installed. Waiting for the weather to cool a bit. It hit 100F here yesterday but with humidity saturation rated it at 110F. Not a record, but I could have sworn I was back in Florida (native). That's why I finally left for good, and here it is.
My garage has A/C at least.

I had both the 289 roadster and 289 FIA out yesterday. Just saying

New jets and rods turned out perfect. Once I got the idle mixtures redone it sat at 14.5. Sorta scared me. Driving light cruise at 13.0 , mild acceleration at 12.5 and WOT @11.0 Plugs are a beautiful light tan VS my previous gas soaked black.
