Old Jolly Green made it up here by vehicle shipper. The original 2bbl autolite was shot - touchy to tune and wouldn't hold a tune. Had 4bbl holley 600cfm and edelbrock rpm intake installed (and an HEI) while moved up here, so first time have gotten to play with it. Been a bit balky since rolled off the shipper. Found the right bank mixture screw 1/2 turn mismatched - re-dialed the mixture and her 390 pulls like a champ now - woof. 18.5psi vac at 800-900rpm idle (estimated off dash, don't know how to read tach off an hei setup yet.) Am young enough to not have any carb experience beyond lawnmowers, so this has been a fun learning experience. Marine formula ethanol protectant added to every fillup, and tank maintained topped off.
