Yes sadly it smokes worst then my cummins... Thats not a bad idea I'll see if I can tear it apart tomorrow I've already got it off the intake. Like I mentioned earlier my vacuum appears to be 6-7 psi at idle in park. As soon as I start giving it gas it starts to drop I'd say it is at 0 by...

Alright so apparently I was wrong about it idling good. I stood about 10ft behind the car while it was idling and my eyes were burning. So I turned the screws in alittle, roughly 1 turn out from snug on all 4 corners. Walked back and it seemed slightly better but still burned pretty bad when I...

Well I accomplished two things, 1 it must be idling off the idle circuit because when I got to the 2nd to last screw it died. It appears to me we aren’t running as rich anymore at least not enough to cause soot because I placed my hand near the exhaust (it was fairly warm, lol) but no soot nor...

Thanks yeah I’d have to take vacuum reading off the carb because the Indy intake doesn’t have anywhere to hook up. IFR location? I have decent filter I forget the micron rating though. So what should my next step be? Check the idle screws to confirm it’s running off the idle circuit. Get a...

Thanks for the response guys I want to at least turn the idle screws down and make sure it’s running off the idle circuit. I’ll test everything when I get off work later I’m not sure on the timing I’d have to double check it. My harmonic balancer is rusty/dirty so it’s hard to see but I wanna...

Thanks Paul_G, I’ll give it a shot. The A/F gauge/sensor is only 6 months old and when it goes to dashes I assumed it was too rich because as you can see if I give it gas it leans out and starts reading. It does not burn my eyes or smell that bad but the entire underside is covered in a thick...

Thanks guys, I don't know if you seen where I edited my last post below the pictures to include more info. I did square up the transfer slots. But in order to do that the I had to adjust the idle screw and now idle is low (was idling around 900-1k now its sitting at 500rpm). I did reset all 4...

Hey I appreciate the suggestions I haven’t had a chance to work on the car til today first thing I noticed is my butterfly are open a lot more than the picture above. (Transfer slots aren’t squared) Does that mean it’s idling off the primary? Okay I closed the transfer slots to small...

I appreciate it. I’ll bring the floats back up, Yes it soaks the plugs. I also forgot to mention I am getting fuel in the oil. I am hoping it’s due to it running so rich. I’ll have to double check the idle screws but I believe I have them set back to stock 1-1/8 turn out? I’d have to double...

ok I’m running out of ideas. I really don’t know my way around a carb especially one like my quickfuel 880 with 4 corner idle and stuff. So I’m hoping one of y’all can help guide me in the right direction otherwise only other option I can think of is taking it to the dyno shop and paying them...

Yes thank you, was talking about harden valves and must have had valves on my mind. lol

Do you know the specs of the engine? all original? If you don't think it has hardened valve seats I would personally run lead but I did read something awhile backing that mentioned it wasn't necessary on engines with a lot of miles on them. As far as what octane to run depends on the...

I had the same problem. It's not right but my temp fix right now was removed the AN fitting on the IN side and installed the slip on kind for a rubber hose. Put a 3/8" hose on it and then I used my fuel filter as the reducer 5/16" hose on one side and the 3/8" on the other side.

Thanks, yes I didn't realize the mechanical pump that is on there was so powerful. I believe it's a race pump 1500 or 2000 (was on the engine when I bought it) I figured my stock 5/16" lines wouldn't pull so much regardless what pump it had... Anyways, I'm trying to figure out how to setup the...

I don't have any real experience either I just kind of winged it with my last carb on the 318 but this is more complex than the 3 little adjustment screws that thing had. The quickfuel instructions that came with the carb were not much help basically all it said was use 5/8" wrench to adjust...

Haha like they say the only stupid question is the one you don't ask. I may have figured it out following holleys guide. Alright the front float is getting there about 3/4 full. The rear float is still overfilling and it's not spraying out of the top now but when I kill it, it's running out of...

I'm sure this is a stupid question but what am I doing wrong. The sights are completely full. I turned the screw alittle and loosen the nut and the fuel level started to drop and stayed in the middle so I left the nut at that position and tightened the screw down. Started it up and fuel shot up...

Thanks guys, not that I did not trust you guys but I contacted Demon carbs today and explained my engine build/combo and they assured me that the Demon 850 with vacuum secondaries would be a great match for my engine and confirmed what you guys said about it using the air speed moving through...

Thanks, more peace of mind. Yeah I'm not worried about power brakes if I upgrade I'm going with manual disc.

Yup here is part of the transcript from our conversation.
