I hooked up the FBSV and drilled the primary air bleeds to match the fuel jets.
No big difference. Also realized I forgot to plug the banjo bolt hole on the intake
manifold. Can you say vacuum leak. Plugged it with a bolt. Still has a high idle.

Took it for a test drive and it pulls pretty well and smacks you when you hit
the secondaries big time. Those need adjusted to come on a bit earlier but
thats minor. Won't hold idle and easily floods. Pretty sure its a vacuum leak
probably around the throttle body and/or spacer.

Definitely not taking the car with this carb to the Mitty. I may just swap the
Dell back on and go with that and come back to this at some later date.
