Alright, it is dialed in for the most part, i got a 750 vacuum secondary from the swap meet, for 25$, just to see if the Vs would help, rebuilt it today and jetted it from 68 to 74 and the guy that i got it from probably thought he was getting over since he couldnt make it run right, the primary plastic fuel float was half full of fuel nearly, LOL. I threw a spare metal one in and got it on the car, the idle screws were all the way in, backed out both 1.5, idled it down and BAM, the car runs and drives flawlessly with the exception of needing a larger converter, a lower T stat and a secondary fan. I AM ECSTATIC!
