    just a tidbit of info..... ND has the largest swing in temps of all states... so i just think carb's are a headache around here. like i said we get -30's all the way up to 100 degrees. time to pull the 91 out of the 20 ft snowdrift and tbi one of them.

    Can "carburetor" and "throttle response" be in the same sentence?

    ight, ill give it another shot but were they sit now seems to be smoothest. as i brought them out to 5ish turns the idle no longer relied on the idle set screw. Like it started to idle up based on the air mixture screws. One other thing to, its been 5 degrees and colder here lately and knowing...

    also jim i put the stove pipe air cleaner with heat riser tube and vac line to it back on and then messed with the air mixture screws and idle. I went from 1 turn out to 5 1/2 and back again. i settled on 3 1/2 but nothing helped the off idle bog. i also took an air hose to every port on the...

    Im trying to find an carb to tbi adapter for my 400 sb with 2" bores. Do they make one?

    wrecking yard...... remind you were i live at the moment lol, but true a adapter sounds like cake walk. found one on jeggs for $45. And for the time being just swap the 350 onto the 400 and let it buck? If this works it will be perfect cus when the time comes its going into the 79.

    This might be a small part on the 79 but the th350 is pretty tired but the 77 with the th400 shifts smooth as butter.

    it doesn't bog while driving, just when the sec i need some hp from crusin (not all the hp just more) it bogs and then picks up. and the 79 bogs when u punch it from a stop.... and bucket might be right with the weak pump shot cus when doing a roll-on stomp it works perfect.
