I fitted a redline intake and 500 Holley (list #4412) to my car over the weekend but i'm having trouble with the tune up. I've set the float and fitted #75 jets and a 8.5 power valve as it was running really lean but it's still lean. i've can't seem to find any vacum leaks and i'm getting -40 kpa (15in of Hg?) at idle.
sounds like it's idling a tad high and just bogs down on hard aceleration. on light aceleration it's not bad but coughs and splutters under load. After a quick once round the block the extractors are glowing red and the plugs are a bit sooty except for the top of the insulator and the side electrode which are clean.
the specs are
reco 78DA HC short block
XE HF-4 Alloy head (match ported)
extractors
redline intake with 500 holley
fitted to my XC 4spd sedan with 3.23 gears any suggestions? i not sure what to do next as this is my first time tuning a holley
thanks
