Mustardxf 29 Posted August 3, 2015 cheers gerg! will take the carb off and have a look, secondaries weren't completely shutting as i could lower the idle by moving the secondary shaft! 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LJDB 103 Posted August 3, 2015 I had the best results by setting the primary the same as gerg, Then putting the carb up to light and adjusting the secondaries so the same amount of light coming through the primary butterflys is coming from the secondaries. Like gerg said if you adjust the secondaries to see the transfer slot they will be open to much. I had to pull the carb off a few times to get it so I had good adjustment each way at the screw. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted August 4, 2015 On a DP you can fit a adjustable arm and have 4 corner idle so you trim via mixtures and adjustment. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted August 5, 2015 Yeah mech sec Holleys are a whole different dimension, and something I've never touched myself. A lot more freedom in tuneability but need a lot of work to be a street carby you can live with daily. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slydog 7,873 Posted August 8, 2015 What's doing on the exhaust? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustardxf 29 Posted August 9, 2015 2.5inch with a resenator. If I don't like it I'm going to go 3 inch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted August 9, 2015 You won't like it,go 3".Works better and will be quieter @ idle and sound better when you stand on it. 1 wagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustardxf 29 Posted August 9, 2015 OKay, will let the place know on Tuesday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted August 9, 2015 Mine with a 270 degree flat tappet and 3" DiFillipo muffler. Exhaust is right to the rear valance there but all but hidden. Was a 4 barrel ACL slugged engine at this stage...till the fuel pump stopped liking the pistons. 1 Mustardxf reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slydog 7,873 Posted August 10, 2015 Lool well no its not quiet tbh but the 2.5 was louder. Mine with the roller and twin 2.5 is about the same as my 5ltr AU ute @ idle 1 wagoon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mustardxf 29 Posted August 16, 2015 Take off is better, still needs a tune, gears are still to high I think and I think my float levels are to low as she after coming out of corners. 1 gerg reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustardxf 29 Posted August 19, 2015 UPDATE: Fixed my carb so It doesn't idle high. Put 32 degrees of timing in it.idling between 700-780rpm. doesn't run on anymore either. and boy does it get up and move, even with the high diff gears (2.77's) it power skids with ease.

slydog 7,873 Posted August 20, 2015 Wait till you put some 3.45s in it and let it go.Broken spider gears and clutches coming up Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Mustardxf 29 Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah Im excited for the 3.45s, surprised how responsive it is with the 2.77s!should be a lot of fun Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wagoon 2,429 Posted August 20, 2015 Yeah Im excited for the 3.45s, surprised how responsive it is with the 2.77s! Should be a lot of fun The reason is because the crossflow produces so much torque it can easily move the car with taller gears. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
gerg 10,871 Posted August 20, 2015 If you haven't got those gears yet, I'd advise against getting that short a ratio in a manual. You'll be changing gears all the time like it's a Kenworth instead of powering on smoothly and swiftly like a crossy is good for. With those gears you'll easily be able to take off in second gear like it's first, meaning actual first is useless for anything except hillstarts. Box Falcons are pretty light so can handle tall gears on take-off. My Corty had a V8 ratio single rail with 2.92 gears and I would always see equivalent cars off at the lights just on gearchanges alone. I know Cortys are lighter still but you get the drift. I'd recommend 3.08s if you can get them. 1 Nath reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
