back together again!

ok guys i put my 526 back together so i could run a little before winter.4.440x4.250,A460's.i got some 6cc small dome pistons from uncle Charlie and cut my heads .100,went from 87cc to 70.also picked up about 80cfm on the flow #'s on the intake side of the heads.worked the plenum over a lot,was stock.put the big comp cam back in it too.it's together and fired and all is well so far,BUT,the same 1150 i was running didnt want to idle for shit! today i pulled it and drilled two1/8 holes in the center by the stud and helped the rich issue a lot and the idle is fair at 1400rpm.it has the 98 jets and no p/v's,just as i ran it last.will this be a good place to start? i was thinken with the extra compression i now have i may need less jet but carbs are not my best subject it will be injected soon so i can get a handle on the setup for the 605 next year.

WHY ARE YOU SWITCHING? leave the carb on it

If it were me the injection would already be on it lol.

i knew you'd say that

98s in a 1150 sounds like a lot.....unless you have Q16 in it.

WE RAN 100's a lot from 112 to 114, carb probaly needs circut work, and yes we have 101's in a q16 engine right now

have you dynod it with the carb? will you after the switch to alco?

i'v been runnen vp113.the last pass i made with it was 5.75 which was the best pass it'd made.it ran a 5.80 with a 1050 with 92's in it.

this one wont see a dyno unless it realy picks up a lot,then i may dyno it when i dyno the 605 this winter.

some pic's too even got one of the fat tires and new sissy bars!

Did you ever think about turning the 4 idle screws in 1/4-1/2 in or opening the idle air bleeds .002-.003? What's up with the 1/8" drill deal?
Oh hell.......it'd be easier and cheaper to put it on injected alky

Thats a good looking car. I could drive that!

i turned the screws all kinda ways and it was too fat. i realy didnt want to drill the air bleeds unless i tapped the holes too so i could change them again and from what i could find searching the net the holes in the body or blades would work for a fat idle.i think it's the big ass cam you sold me that caused the problem. i bet it'll drink gas too. and i dont have a high end carb so i'll put that 1200$with a little more and get the alky injection.
