When you run a big cam, you might need to change emulsion tubes.
Now three questions.
First,
Powerband, what were the stamped Well Tube marks on the ex Cologne V6 5200 you had?
Second.
stanyonHave you sorted and verified your 278 Clay Smith cam card yet.
Third.
stanyon. You are using the 32 36 DFAV aren't you?
Elsewhere, I've been doing some research, and the 5200 Holley Weber kit has some differences the 32 36 DFAV. Holley calls it a well tube, and it has 14R XXXX re order part number, but is physically stamped with numbers like 04, 05, 74, 75 common.
That is if the well tube is stamped 04 its part number is = 14R 1004
05= 14R 1005
74=14R 974
75=14R 975
Weber has a whole brace of
65 call names skipping through F1 to F87 for the similar 61440.xxx series emulsion tubes
http://www.webercarburatori.com/?p=handbook&s=2. There are 13 heights from 30.5 to 53 mm, and about 5 hole
and tube width combinations which make up the 65 tubes. Some aren't compatible with the different float types, even though they fit the well/emulsion tube
This is from what Holley and Colt Industries developed the 14R xxxx series from.
The Holley Well tubes and Weber Emulsion tubes
can be swapped, and allow the engine to run in a more healthy, higher performance setting. Turbo 974 and 974 well tubes can be used for draw through 5200 and 32/36's, as this is what Ford designed them to do in the 2.3 Carb Turbo Mustangs.
Below is not related specifically to the part numbers of common 32/36 and 5200 series tubes, but it shows graphically what a savage difference in emulsion tube/well tube hole size and pattern does.Air fuel ratio is changed every-time a different emulsion/well tube hole pattern is used.
There are other fuel jet call number differences between Weber and Holley Webers, but once you understand them, the jets and Emulsion tubes can be swapped around if they match.
If you wanna do it from first principals, then listen to this

And then look at this 61450 series IR Port on Port Weber Emulsion Tube sketch, which isn't for our 61440.xxx series DF, DG, and 5200/5210/5220/6500/6520 series staged and synchro dual throats.
It shows what David Vizard was on about.

On the Jeep forum, they have gotten into the Weber 61440.xxx emulsion tubes, and made some custom F-THIS ones very easily from some F7's to suit the 4.0 and 258 Jeep sixes with the 32/36 AND 38 series carbs.:mrgreen:
Based on previous experiences and this most recent work, I'm going to offer up some broad generalizations while it's still fresh in my mind and wait for your feedback.
The activation point and also the mixture strength of the main circuit is controlled by the emulsion tube to a much greater extent than the main jet or air corrector. It also is the key to how well the main circuit responds to large throttle openings and overall mixture consistency, once activated.
The true mixture strength or sizing of the main jet is measured down lower in the rpm range (2,500 rpm) at WOT and is influenced to a lesser extent by the lower holes of the emulsion tube.
The WOT mixture at the top of the rpm range is most influenced by and adjusted with the air corrector

The only other thing that makes the 32/36 and its 5200 difficult is the little changes AMC/ GM/ Mopar and Ford requested each year from 1969 to 1983 (when these carbs were no longer used in the Big Fours Domestic Pacers, Chevettes, K cars and Pinto's/Rangers and Fox bodies). Each year they did a whole heap of fiddles, and as
powerband has found, sometimes with all the bits swapped over, no two behave alike. Usually float setting, air bleeds or axillary squirters are changed subtly, and then you have jets, well tubes and air correctors and curb idle throttle settings and secondary flat or rich spots. Once these little changes are filtered out, you can have a lot of fun.
