    I have a frien making the gauge for me. I will re-check everything, then if not happy, start on the vacuum leak procedure. I may even pull it, as I believe the secondary wind up is too tight. Arggghhh!!!

    81 Carb Gurus

    I thought the 2 after the year code was 49 state, and 5 is the Kalifornia code.

    Gerry, I set the float to .420" per Lars. My understanding is the solenoid height is 1.305" with a gauge. The solenoid travel is 4/32", and the idle bleed is adjusted to obtain 30* at idle. (The idle bleed gauge is approximate till test run.) The TPS has been adjusted to .56 volts at curb idle...

    Well Gerry, I have to tetract that statement. The Carb builder called me and gave me an earfull. Says they NEVER switch carbs, period. I have to believe Bubba did it before I bought the car. Seeing as to what all I have encountered, It's not that much of a reach.:L Now I have to find out what...

    Near as I can tell from the codes: 170+= does not mean much 81=year 2=49 state/non-Kalifornia 1 or 2=Chevy Odds are Manual, evens are Auto So I believe you are correct/fine with those #s I show this one I have as 87 Cadillac with auto. Now, to see if the settings are the same.

    Thanks Gerry. I'll go digest this. I have all the tools but the M/C gauge. I have the dimensions to make one though. 1.305"x.170"x.220". Wish I could just find a part# for one that was still in production.

    I tried 4 1/2 turns. Threw the dwell off so far, I almost had to take the idle bleed screw out to get 30* dwell. 3 3/4 turns is the 3rd setting I have heard. I'll look at the Roe book. I am hot, and very discouraged today.:mad
