Still trying to figure out why the car is running so lean. Requires the choke to be out about 1/3 or it mis-fires (backfires?). With the choke out, it runs well. Replaced the fuel pump with electric producing 3 psi. Checked the timing (11 degrees), new distributor cap and rotor, electronic ignition. Zenith-Stronberg carbs. Metering needle is set at max rich (full clockwise) on both carbs. Push the choke in past the 1/3 mark and the card misses even at freeway speeds.
Looking at rebuilding both carbs including new o rings on the metering needles.
Any ideas, suggestions, recommendations (other than going to fuel injection). Any and all help is welcomed.
Thanks,
Frank
