Thread: stock 302 carb?

That's better! I'd consider 14 inches a bit low. Have you tried adjusting the needle valves by reading the vacuum gauge? Slowly turn in then out to achieve the highest gauge reading and then try driving it like that. Looks like you have a mechanical choke too that isn't connected. It may help on those cold mornings.
