Ponchonutty:
This is a horrible picture I took from a video he sent me with him running it on his test engine.  This was WOT and this is the widest the secondaries go.  I was told he pulled a lot of performance out of the carb due to being for a Pontiac 301?

77cruiser:
He got you good, wow. That puller pic is the air bleed the larger tube is the pullover.
I don't know about 301's but the sec. should open farther than that.

Yeah, After I bought Cliff's book and went back through the archives of my messages with him, I realize what I was failing to see now.

The air valves will NOT open fully unless you put load on engine driving the car.

Ponchonutty:
Somehow he can do it with other carbs like this one he did after mine
