Hello All! my name is Mario this is my first time officially on here but I've been lurking a few months since I got my '66! I hope ya'll can shed some light on this question I have!
Picked up a clean '66 inline 6 for the wife. I swapped out the entire ignition to a DS2 and installed a weber 32/36. The car runs great EXCEPT that I cannot get it to idle oh the idle circuit alone (I do understand that means it's NOT running great but it after the idle circuit it progresses through fairly nicely). I purchased the carb pre-jetted for a 6 cylinder but nothing. I've cleaned it numerous times too. I don't believe I have a vacuum leak (sprayed water AND starter fluid in the area surrounding the carb with no change in RPMS. The motor appeared to be rebuilt. (no carbon build up on the cylinders) but I have yet to officially check compression. However, it does run strong. I upped my main jets but that didn't help much. I SHOULD be able to get it running with the baseline settings I have due to similar settings I've found on the web... So long story short I was wondering if anybody here with a weber conversion would be willing to share their jet settings so I can have an idea of which jets to troubleshoot.
Ford 200 Automatic
Weber 32/36
Primary -
160 main
160 Air corrector
75 Idle
Secondary
160 main
170 air corrector
60 Idle
Notes -
I have all vacuums disconnected for baseline tuning.
Timing 10-11 advanced on the gun.
Any tips would be greatly appreciated!
