wont stay idling
I just got a 69 firebird with a 389 and a 4 gear. It has 326 heads and a holley 650 dp 4777-2. I just rebuilt the carb.The cam seems pretty big but don't know the specs. It has 10" of vacuum at about 1000 -1100 rpm or so but when I try to turn down the idle any more, it idles steady and slowly dies like it is flooding out. It seems to be idling RICH, burns my eyes. I tried a couple of power valves and currently have a 2.5 in it. It had a 4776 600 dp on it first and it did the same thing. Air mixtue screws don't seem to do much either. HELP!!!!!!!!
Dammit, another good ol boy gone. Condolence to the family. RIP Mike
