RE: Whenever I read about someone...

Gerry, I do understand that the mixture screw controls an emulsified fuel supply; it is not "straight fuel". That being said, there is still some air that passes by the throttle plates ( and this air is picking up no fuel), so looking at the entire picture, you can effect the overall idle A/F ratio, just not as simple and dramatic as one might think.

I was interested in your thoughts as to adding holes in the butterflies in this particular situation. I know you have to go slow etc. I am not a novice with carburetors, just never have worked on a dual 4 setup. Only multiple carbs have been foreign engines and bikes. I teach carburetors to my students, probably lost theory in must schools. I, however, like students to know where our newer engines "came from".

I appreciate any insight in this endeavor you can give me. I will be tackling the 2x4 with "normal " carbs. It is a money thing. Too many play toys :o) I am at this time finishing my 68 1/2 CJ, building a chopper, restoring a 240Z and restoring/building a Thunderbolt clone with a 428. It is this car that will get the dual 4s. So $900 won't be going to a set of carbs. Did I mention I am restoring another 68 1/2 CJ and a 73 Q-code Mustang for customers?

Point is I am busy, but very interested in my Thunderbolt project. I want to make reliable, but thrifty, decisions on the carbs. Thanks Gerry.
This thread, so far...
