The engine is a 73 -302, mild cam, C-4 tran. The carb has the "trick" screw in the vac secondary linkage. This car came from Chicago to SLc, Ut. Elevation is 4100 ft in SLC. I dropped the jet size by 2 (69 to 67) and the power valve by one. Took both A/F screws to seats and backed off 1 turn. Retimed and verified dwell settings.
Engine runs real good, but has a slight hesitation. To put it into words when I smash the throttle from idle, or decel, It goes .... "whut - whaaa". I know that looks goofy but I tried to put the sound into words. If the engine is slightly reving everything is OK. Do I need to drop some more jet sizes? Plus at idle there is a good amount of condensation from the exhaust. No major fuel smells, a bit, but not much. One of the locals told me that carb would not work very well. he said I needed a high altitude version.
Oh another thing. the P.O. removed the kick down rod from the C-4. That seems stange to me.
Thanks
