Roger,
I did loosen the interconnection screws so that the carbs were operating
independently. When I first got the car running, I noticedthat the
carburators were way out of synch. If you turn up the throttle 1.5 turns
on the carb. with the good over-run valve the idle goes up to 3000 rpms.
The timing is probably a little off too, since I couldn't get the car to
idle at the correct speed to set it. What is the correct orientation for
the over-run valves? There are two conflicting diagrams in the Haynes SU
manual. On page 48, they show it with the spring pointing away from the
engine on the bottom of the butterfly. (This is how mine is currently
oriented. With the spring rubbing against the carb. body) Then there is a
diagram on page 45 which shows the over-run valve spring on the top of
the butterfly, pointed into the intake manifold.
Thanks
