Title should have said No Crisp throttle response.
Let me start by saying I've Google and searched the heck out of this, tuned on this forever and can't find the issue so any help is GREATLY appreciated.
440 basic stock rebuild and carbs bought around 1998 new. Car starts good, and runs decent. 4-speed car.
Timing at 10* initial/37* Total. Mopar Electronic dist also bought 1998.
12lb vacuum. Fairly steady.
850-900 RPM idle. Idle set with outboard carbs disconnected.
Outboard 1/4 turn out
Center 1 3/4 out. Set to highest vacuum
Here's the issue, the throttle isn't crisp and it returns to idle slowly, not super slow but not fast. When driving and floored it does have power and can feel the outboards kick in so that's working. No back fires, but does have a slight, I mean slight stumble when revved up fast for an idle only.
I've read the sixpack tuning guide and a lot of articles, done a lot of research. I don't have a problem tuning a carb and rebuilt the engine myself, actually very mechanical.
I'm asking the sixpack experts if they think this is vacuum leak related or something out of adjustment cause I can't find the issue after 5 yrs of screwing with it.
Also, I have checked for vacuum leaks. What am I missing ??
