1979 Firebird Trans Am aka the turdbird has problems
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.

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