Cliff got my carb back from you for a 455 buick.WOW what a difference in performance and the carb idles at 800 before 1050 at best.I have a ram air set up I noticed when I put the Air cleaner on it did not run as well.I took it off and saw some gas around the acc pump, low end it is not as crisp.Runs great with ac off.Should I make some holes in the back of the ac too much pressure?I have read on v8 buick some have had the same trouble.Thanks for the great job on the carb.Steve

Hey Cliff any ideas too much pressure down the vent?

Cliff Ruggles:
I've ran into some issues with air cleaners that place the lid too close to the carburetor.  With my own set-up, I was not able to use later T/A parts to run a taller intake on my 455.  The later parts have a shorter Shaker assembly, so use a shorter air filter.  My engine HATED that deal, and gave me all sorts of troubles.....Cliff

Thanks Cliff Do you think its the vent tube? shorter air cleaner will do what?
