He didn't say, just instead of landing at 1130 its now 12 30. Seems the past few weeks his flights have been delayed. What's it like down your way? He flew out of BWI.

I'm having a choke issue. I had the carb rebuilt by a reputable shop. The car runs really well, I just can't get the choke to work properly. It's showing 12 volts. I took the Cap/Thermostat off yesterday to see if the thermostat was correctly connected to the linkage (it is). Fast idle screw isn't binding on the intake. Kind of at a loss.

On a side note, I have a brand new Summit 600 CFM carb that I can install, but I need to get a low profile vacuum adapter for my intake before I do that...

Well, they are kind of a thing of the past. I just ordered the intake adapter I need, I'm just going to drop the new summit racing carb on it sometime next week.

Interestingly enough, Edelbrock designed their Intake Manifolds with the vacuum port situated to where it makes it difficult to mount any dual feed/double pumper style Holley Carb...It's not exactly a subtle 'Eff you' for using a Holley product on their Intake, but more of a blatant one.

Like I said, ask that question over at C1 and 2 for an answer, they know there stuff. I'm not familiar with electric chokes, my cars have the old fashioned kind....that work!

Don't know about the conspiracy thing, I've used double pumpers on Edelbrocks for years, big and small blocks.
