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.

I checked out their web site and the adjustable metering block looks like a great solution to incorperating Tom's advice in the previous post. I need to look at my old Holley and see if this may solve some issues with it. By the way, great thread, thanks for starting it.
