Intro
Sorry about that gentlemen. It is my first post.
I have been building a 51 Ford F1. When I first started it was just a cab and frame. I mounted the cab, fabricated floor boards, built a front end, etc... This is my first time doing anything other than general maintenance. I am just looking to make this a fun, reliable, and safe driver to cruise around town and to work from time to time. I am not looking for a super fast, squeeze out every ounce of horse power you can application. I finally got it driving a few days before I deployed. I pulled the spark plugs and they looked a little on the rich side. I may post a picture on here next time because I am definitely not an expert. It just didn't run that great. I just ordered a vacuum gauge to properly set the idle mixture screw. I have read about using one (on the internet) and figured I would try it. I have it timed at 13 btdc. I am kind of worried that the carb is to big for the motor, but I got it for cheap (750cfm X 351W 30 over). I have read several different views on over sized carbs - Dont jet it down, jet it down a few, just get another one, it will be fine. Like I said I am not going for gold on the track. I built my own headers from a cut up set I bought(sbc). Not sure if they give enough back pressure.
Thanks guys!!!
