Yup, the carb is worlds better than when I started, thanks to all the great input. The car will cold start cleanly, idle in traffic and performs pretty well overall. It still needs a little help with the transition, but it's very drivable now. The high stall converter really helps a double pumper work on a street engine with steep gears. Otherwise it would be bog city.
I agree that it now needs a wideband. Once you get a carb close , the butt dyno can fool you. It's hard to tell if its rich or lean if it's not surging or smoking or fouling plugs.
What do you guys think of the BLP fully adjustable metering blocks? I like the idea of building a block for it.
