Greetz, had to help take care of some estate issues, a lot on the back burner for awhile...speaking of which:
Had a little mishap when my flooding Holley caught fire at our local car show a week ago. Fortunately it was early and not a lot of cars there, but for the guy who had an extinguisher in his trunk. So after the show, got the car home, (driveable but still flooding) which is less than a mile, and I took it off and installed a new Edelbrock with the manual choke and mechanical secondary.
It ran great, but had a slight vacuum leak. So I took off the 4 hole spacer, got the slightly taller square bore with the new gaskets, studs etc. Also discovered the vac advance was shot and replaced.
Now, no vac leak, but the Eddy stumbles and hesitates when getting on it. I saw in other forums this is a problem, so I messed with timing, mixture screws, switched accelerator pump configuration, as per destruction book and forum geniuses. still have the problem. Ran better when I had the vac leak!
So now I am asking the true geniuses here, and a search here said that the 4 hole spacer may be the answer...where am I going wrong?
Thanks in advance
