Fresh engine won't idle

Seff:
Gotcha, will start reading.

Have a HP kit in one of the carbs already, rods and jets as well. Sadly can't remember which.

Choke housing is NOT blocked off, just sucking air. Will fix that immediately. Or are you talking about the port at the rear of the air horn?

Choke pull-off will be checked.

Thanks!

carmantx:
Choke housing itself.  The hot air choke pulls air/vacuum from the carb body.  When converting yo electric choke, that vacuum passage needs to be blocked.

Seff:
Welded shut an old tube for the choke vacuum, car runs much better at high rpm. Will try recipe #3 on the 77 carb now.

Seff:
For reference, it's 74 jets and D4 primary rods.

77cruiser:
What's the cranking compression?  Let us know how it turns out with the other tweaks.
