RE: Metering Rods/step-up springs

I had a very similar situation with a brand new 750CFM E'brock on a 428 CJ. I bought a calibration kit that incudes a variety of metering rods, step up springs and jets.

I called Edelbrock's tech line and explained my problem. The tech guy was very helpful and explained exactly what to do. I'm going from memory now but it does seem that I increased the size of the metering rods one step and went one step stronger on the springs. This cut down the initial shot of fuel to the 428 and it took care of the hesitation completely. These adjustments were very easy to do and you won't spill a drop of fuel. Same with the jets.

Don't give up easily on the Edelbrock carb. They're easy to dial in and they work very well.

This thread, so far...
