Default Need some help...I think

I moved from sea level(Bainbridge Island, WA) to northern CO. My car ran great after finally getting the Webers tuned and synched in WA. After moving here I have rejetted etc. for hi-altitude....but....I can not get rid of the 2,000 to 2,500 rpm or so "popping" thru the exhaust at acceration at low idle cruising speeds between 25-35mph, when I punch it it clears up and runs great as well as running great at highway speeds.

I'm at 36* all in on my timing, I've checked float levels, jets, tubes, linkage synch, exhaust leaks, etc. . I'm at a loss now as what to do. The car runs great it's just rather embarassing to drive at low speeds.

Any ideas on what to further check?

Sounds like your idle circuit is lean.

Yes, it sounds like you are running a touch lean on the idle circuit.

First thing I would try is opening up the idle mixture screws, an aditional 1/4 - 1/2 turn.

If you feel an improvement, then IŽll go a step richer on the idle jet, or decrease the idle jet holder size.
