Howdy guys,
So this past summer I put a 32/36 on my 200 using the adapter from vintage Inlines. It's a 65 Ranchero 200, should these smell a little gassy at idle? I thought that with an economy car it'd be leaner, it did the same thing when I had a Holley 1904 on it, but the Holley was off a 52' 215 or a 225. Yes I upgraded to HEI, it's a CRT Performance one with the small cap. Yes I know they're curved poorly, thank you WSA for enlightening me I'll be contacting you possibly after I get out of school for Xmas break.
Here are the jet sizes
Yes the choke is entirely disengaged when completely warm
The motor is stock, I believe. It's no speed demon but it's not doggy or anything, actually kinda peppy. I'm pulling almost 23mmHg at the vacuum gauge.
The timing now I believe is at 12°, my light broke so I've been going by vacuum, yes it was smelling gassy before when I had it at 10° before the light broke.
My pressure regulator is set at 3 lb.
At idle I smell it and when I go to the back of the car I hear slight backfires, only audible when near the tailpipe.
I haven't filled the tank all the way so I'm not sure what my mileage is but I know that when I had the Holley on it was at roughly 16 mpg average, I feel as though it's better now but it's not measured yet.
Could this be too large of a main idle jet? Any help will be appreciated. I just figured the car would be kinda scent free since these 6s don't need a lot of gas to run.
Thanks everyone!
