Re: Emulsion tube quest
Another combo you can try: smaller main jets, maybe 160 or 165 with 140 or smaller AC jets.

Re: Emulsion tube quest
Have you tried bigger air correctors 180-200?
With the bigger AC jets, try the F7 E tubes.
Or F16 E tubes.

Re: Question for Tuner
A member has kindly sent me the Fed Mogul manual, which describes this hole. It is an air bleed, purpose of which is to smooth the transition from the low to the high speed cct & improve part throttle economy.

Re: Question for Tuner
I am not sure, have not seen those on Holley carbs. Add more air? The holes I am talking about are on the underside of the booster.

Question for Tuner

Re: LS cruise timing
Are they not known for a very efficient chamber design? If so, that means less timing under all conditions.

Re: pertronix rpm limit
There might be a fault with the Crane unit. If the XR700 maxes out at 8500 rpm with a 4 cyl, it produces the same number of sparks per minute as an 8 cyl at 4250 rpm. They run higher rpms than that with 8 cyl engines.

Re: Anyone know what size this is?
Most likely 5/16". If it is in really tight, good chance you will snap off the socket end.....even with a preliminary prayer to Allah.....
If it is an iron head, heat up the plug with oxy to cherry red & feed candle wax into the joint. When it cools down, it will come out easily....
