Hey JD,
No weather to report I'm in Bryceville, FL BTW. Not NY. I've had the flooding carb situation as well. It was the needle and seat (x2). I now keep extra gaskets needle seats, jets, etc. I installed a regulator after tuning started as well. I run a HP mechanical with a Holley red pump to avoid possible vapor lock. Good luck with the weather. I will send the article.

thanks Ernesto!
That was a great article and I agree with you that there is a lot of information to digest there.
Im up here in North Georgia Area . I have suspected a high pressure situation on the HP mechanical as the carbs are brand new and I have set the floats now a couple times but still have too much fuel in the bowls. Before I start tuning I will get that sorted. I think I will order up some extra needles and seats though JIC! Let me know if you hear of a MOPAR show near us and Ill try to make it. ="64 Sportfury, post: 912000429, member: 8037"]Hey JD,

After reading that article I checked my old carbs. Yep, they had holes drilled on the side of the main body in attempts to let in more air . Same result- fuel everywhere.
As I said, there isn't a whole lot of info on this subject because of the race-only purpose of the set up and how many folks are running Hemi on the street? The article is the first and only I've found that details the tuning extensively. Keep me posted on your results. I'd like to meet up at ashow some time as well.

Hi Ernesto!
Heres an update on the cross ram:
I am installing a fuel pressure regulator - I think I have high fuel pressure and its confounding my efforts. I got it mounted but need 2 more fittings to connect it (waiting on UPS). As soon as thats in Im starting a designed experiment to dial in the idle. Its 4 factors/16 treatments full factorial. I will report!

Hey JD. Glad to hear you're sticking with it. Regarding fuel pressure, I switch on the Holley blue pump during warmer days to help the mechanical pump. With the regulator it's a no brainer for me. Looking forward to your experiment. Are you going to the Summit Racing show in Mcdonough GA? I plan on going for one day depending on the weather.

If youre staying overnight in the area I can recommend the pizza at Lovin Oven in Locust Grove which is one exit before Summit racing in McDonough!
I was hoping to hear how the car ran. I am not staying overnight but I may hit that pizza shop on my way in or out. I run 6psi on my set up. Works well.

I also set 6 psi
It runs MUCH better!!
Remind me your email I will send you a video!
pizza joint (just off I 75)
3844 SR 42 (basically main street Locust Grove )
That's great to hear. I pm'd you my email address.
Daaaaaaammmmmnnnnn. She sounds and looks killer! That's a steep hill and it sounds like your running an automatic. Any plans to get a time slip? As for mine it's strictly a cruiser.
