There's no doubt that a 6bbl is more work to get tuned in and more expensive but in a street car they rock. Then there's the nostalgia factor, few things make the eyes pop like a 6 pack when you open the hood and anybody that has ever been in the passenger seat when a well tuned 6 pack kicks in...
I've rebuilt these carbs several times and they are not that bad. Like all rebuilds, getting them clean is half the battle. I take em apart and soak them in carb cleaner overnight. You can get kits easy, ebay has a bunch of them, like here...
Have you tuned the outboards? They do contribute fuel and if they are too fat, you will never get the center card dialed in. Start with that and go from there. I can tell you from experience that the promax base with the angled screws is a Godsend because you can tune it on the car. Taking that...
If it works, go with it! Every engine is different and these rules of thumb are great but real life tuning is always different depending on the build. Congrats on the 11!
That was biomedtechguy that answered you here and he was going to send the pics.....but yes that can cause your high idle. Also check your throttle cable and make sure it is adjusted properly and allowing the throttle blades to fully close. If you have an incorrect cable, that could be your...

I'm familiar enough with the six pack to agree with some of both and disagree with some of both for example, I tend to agree with the first opinion on the vacuum secondary springs with regard to using a heavy spring. Of course the best way is to progressively use heavier springs until you find...
I bought an angled throttle base from them so I can adjust the srews while on the car but I haven't installed it yet. They aren't going to be able to tune them though unless you can take the car to them. There is no way to tune carbs off the car.
I'm sure some of you guys have read this before but I'm looking for opinions on it. Chime in please.
When tuned properly Six pak cars turn on! faster & run far better than single 4 barrel cars exc a thermoquad. If you want your six pak car to run like it should do the dance and have the right...
