[DeTomaso] Carb questions

[Asa Jay Laughton]

Mark,

Just as a point of reference here.  When I was going through automotive 
technology school, way back when. . .
There was a guy in our class who brought in his car which was outfitted 
with a big Holley, like yours.  He spent the better part of two days 
trying to tune it so it would run decently at idle.  He never made it, 
the carb was simply too big for the engine.

Now I'm not saying you won't learn anything, but that it might be more 
difficult to really get a good feel for changes because the carb is 
already really too big for the engine.  Yes, you might get it to run 
right and it may already work pretty well.  Just beware. :)
