RE: engine running REAL fat ,,WHY??

Funny, I had the same problem. In my case, I put on Edelbrock heads, new Crane cam, etc. Prior to the improvements, the engine ran fine with the old single-point distributor and nothing else. Post improvements, it would foul plugs, load up, misfire...the fumes were so bad out of the pipe that I couldn't stand to be anywhere near the thing when it was running. The excess HCs permeated my cloths so bad that my wife wouldn't let me in the house! I put a Unilite conversion in the distributor and an MSD 6AL box on the fender and we all lived happily ever after. All the problems went away. I'm glad to hear you've got the correct dual quad carbs. So many folks do the 1850s and never get the thing to run right.
This thread, so far...
