| Carb tuning - Click HERE for Original Thread |

Hey guys I'm new to the board here, but I'm looking for some assistance.
I have a 302 with an Edelbrock 650cfm Performer carb that I am not 100% happy with the way I have it tuned.
Is anyone on the board here REALLY good at tuning an Edelbrock.
I need some help and someone else's opinion if I have it tuned right.
Thx -Ryan\

I've found the best way is to do it yourself - when you do things like change jets/rods/hangers/idle mixture it's all about driving it for a bit, then deciding if you want to go one size up/down.
Unless you can find a friend/neighbour, I'd definetely look into doing it yourself. It's not overly hard if your carb isn't an emissions type....And as I said - you have to drive it to get the perfect tune/combination. |

Yeah that's what I have been doing.
Like I said I'm not 100% happy with it, and I keep hearing that the Eddies are a pain to get just right.
So I am looking for someone to have a look at my carb that is really good at setting up the Edelbrocks.
I could probably keep playing with it all summer long. |

Come out to one of the Mainstreet Cruisers meets, either on Wednesday at the Wendy's on 66 st and 28th Ave, or on fridays to the A&W/Second Cup on 137th Ave and 116st. There are usually lots of cars, and the members are there to help with any questions you may have.

Any other suggestions....even if its your buddy or something, just as long as they have set-up and tuned an Edelbrock. |

Check the phone book to see if Magoo's is still around.
He is at the track all the time - as his son runs an alcohol car there. Back in the day, Bob (I keep thinking that's his first name) was a really good guy.
As for bigger shops - there's always Campbell's, they're fairly large engine builders here in the city. |
