My A/F meter still baffels me, it just does not make any sense. I am interested what you see with your meter. The jetting you last
posted and the mods you have on your truck are real close to what I have, let me know how your meter responds when you get a
chance.

Cool Sarge, let me know. I'm definitely good for either the 600 or the 1000cfm in red when you get 'em in.
I finally had to break down and buy a non-advancing timing light. the curiosity was killing me, but dammit, couldn't find anything
decent for under $40. I tried getting one of those el cheapo $12 harbor freight jobs, just to compare my advancing light with, but
that thing was so freakin' dim, I could hardly see the timing mark, AND it was bouncing all over the place. the actron one I just
picked up is nice 'n bright & the mark's steady -- whew, no misses.
Jeff, yeah, I wanted to try to hook it up last night but it was cold & rainy here. same thing today. I'll probably do it on saturday.
heheh, at the risk of getting you riled up again, did you ever hear back from Wil and his check that the USPS lost twice?
what part about the A/F meter doesn't make sense? do you have one installed? what's it doing? what is your current jetting, and
what kind of response are you getting?
when I had my meter hooked up last, I think it would idle one bar rich, go lean, like almost off the gauge, while cruising at
highway speeds. on opening the throttle coming out of cruise it would go one bar rich, I think, but I'll let you know what I see this
time around.

Be wary of the cheaper A/F meters as they have a delay in them . The more expensive 2 or 3 wire units work much better and
show more of a real-time reading and are a lot more accurate. You should also find out what exactly they call "normal" in the fuel
curve as most of the time it's pretty lean on fuel . I got the 600cfm filters in today finally, all of them are red . They do now have a
much better pcv vent line hookup tube than they used to . I do also have the nylon 90* ones here in stock . Oh, and I forgot to
answer you earlier, yes they do just wash up with soap and water . I just dunk mine in a light solution of dish soap in a bucket of
warm water , wring it out lightly and allow it to dry . I'd like to know just how much hood clearance you have with your current
setup if you have time . Just plop a full can of Play-doh on top of the air filter and slam the hood shut . Measure what is left and
let me know , I have an idea for that Toy motor , hehe. BTW, ever done a compression check on that reman motor lately, might
explain some of this jetting anomoly I'm seeing with your carb .

I fear compression checks.
I think I'd rather not know.

Hey Yod either I'm senile or you got the wrong Jeff. Any ways the jets I have now are the same as the last time we conversed on
this issue, here they are:
P / S
70 / 60 idles
140 / 150 mains
170 / 180 airs
and I am pretty happy with it, but would always like to improve if possible.
The A/F meter I have is a 3 wire analog CB performance meter. If I trust the meter it tells me 90% of the time I am running lean.
Sometimes I don't think my meter is working correctly, sometimes it gives me some reading, the only thing that is consistant
about it is the inconsistancy. Lately here is how my meter has been re-acting:
1. highway driving : 40 - 60mph, stoich 17%, acceleration will richin the mix some, so will de-accelerting, going up a slight hill it
will go lean.
60 - 70 mph, the mix may richin up some, average 15.5 %, or may be lean at 17% depends on the day. Going up slight hill will
make it go more lean, de-acclerating will make it more rich.
2. Around town driving, idle - 40 mph, just about always lean, needle pegged at 17% and hardly ever moves upless I floor it.
