Have had several of those carbs and they were all JUNK!

Are you referring to the Edelbrock/Carter AFB Blazin? You can't get much simpler and easier to tune than one of those.

I'd get either a Holley, Edelbrock or Q-jet.    ;D

OK cowgirl i now hate you, lol. i finally got outside even tho its still wet changed the oil in both my trucks. then i don't know what happend next. my door poppers burnt up in the fall never got a chance to replace or fix them so i finally took that on. popped the hood and saw what a mess the wires were. started cutting and clipping cut all the only popper's wires out a little burnt, reran the wench wires to be more out of site also reran the spark plug wires under the headers. thats about as far as i got also removed so wires that were just sitting there. took some pics but they are on my phone right now will post, still not done yet tho haven't even touched the new poppers

o yeah it does look a little better, but here I am at work in uniform looking sharp and my hands are still stained with dirt and oil ::). Also the truck seams to be running a little better due to re doing the timing when I rerouted the plug wires
