My 383 engine build came to an end last summer and I finally got a chance to take the car around the block today. It liked backfiring through the carb every once and a while, it was running a tad hot and the carb was smoking after a shut it off for a while.
Here's the specs:
Eagle 383 Kit, 30 over block
Patriot Aluminum Heads
Crane Saturday night special cam
Is there any way I can retune my Edelbrock carb to work with this engine? I'm not looking for max power right now just better driveability. It's not the easiest engine to start and it doesn't like idling very low.
I'm assuming it will help if I change the fuel mixture screw? I wanted to ask before making changes. I have never done carb work before. Any tips here?
