best needles for 32/36

Post by minimike »

I'm getting about 20 mpg. Ithink this sucks. I had replaced the stock carb with a brand spanking new 32/36 and the 1800
intake. Should I rejet the carb? advance the timing? Car starts right up and drives fine but the fuel economy blows. I do
better with my Dodge minivan!

jetting should be done somewhat scientifically otherwise you may do some engine damage. Use a CO meter to determine the fuel mixture, then consider rejetting if it's not right
