Idle AFR is ok at what you have, stick with highest vac. My apologies, I interpreted your first question of the best way to set the idle on a four corner carb as looking for a stable, consistent idle, not leaner idle. You will likely find that if you change up iab’s and ifr’s to lean transition fuel your engine will still want the 12.5 - 12.9 idle fuel for best vacuum. You may be getting good combustion at idle whereas guys with bigger cams idling in the 14s would likely be being told lies by their gauge and in reality idling richer than indicated. Any little misfire from incomplete combustion at idle will be sensed as lean as the unburned oxygen goes into the exhaust. My 383 likes to idle with the gauge reading 13.2-13.4 but with a cam of 245@ .050” and 28* overlap it would be truly richer than that.
Getting into the secondaries bog, is that flooring it from cruising on the primaries or progressively using part of the secondaries?
If going from closed secondaries to wide open in one hit you are using all of the pump cam. The pink cam gives a bit more total volume. The 31 squirters and pink may work for that situation. Bigger squirter you get all that volume sooner. If your already a little into the secondaries then give it a bit more and it bogs the 28’s and blue cam might do the job. Just remember with a blue in the primaries you have likely spent it before or barely into the secondaries so no help from the primary squirter.Statistics: Posted by Right hand drive — Tue Mar 23, 2021 7:10 am
