Glad you arrived home safely Rich. Thank you for taking time to stop
by as it was a treat to visit with you! I really like Le Roar; still has
some claws with that 264 Cam.
WOW! You make me tired just reading of your voracious appetite/quest
for “tuning!”
Gary P.
Sorry for the delay but I have been busy slowing down
from my Route 66 trip. As a preliminary statement let me mention my
engine/car specs.. I have the hot street cam from Schneider (264deg), the new
poly intake, Mopar electronic ignition, TTI's, compression around 9.5-10, and a
3:23 rear gear with 2:55/60/15's rear and 2:25/70/15's front.
-- On my way home from California I had changed my 1406, 600cfm,
Eddy to Primary jet .095, sec jet .095, 7347 rod, plain
spring, #28 accel nozzle, power blaster accel nozzle deflector/atomizer and the
pump set on max operation. This worked very well, very well, from
California to the eastern edge of Utah. At altitude it was too rich as expected.
My AFR meter was a real help in determining how the carb was doing. I was
running between 13.5 and 15,5 on the AFR during that portion of the trip. 14.7
is the "ideal" number and the scale goes from 1 ( rich) to 22 (lean). Going up
into the 10K- 11K foot mountains it ran 9-11. I should have changed the carb
setting but I got lazy.... This final leg of the trip showed 15.17mpg which
included some areas of only 10.5mpg , etc, due to traffic/ altitude
etc...
On the second leg of my trip to California from Springfield,
MO I had the carb set at Primary jet .098, Sec jet .095, 7347 rod,
orange spring, #28 accel nozzle, power blaster installed and the pump set
at mid operation. This portion of my trip netted me an overall average
of 12.5 mpg and my AFR was running 11-13+..
The first leg from Omaha to Springfield was with my #1407
750cfm Eddy. It was set at Pri Jet .117, Sec Jet .107, Rod
7347, yellow spring, no powerblaster,
accel nozzle #35 set at mid. This was changed during the
trip to a 7547 rod and a blue spring. This netted AFR's around 13-15 on
the highway but the gas mileage of only about 11.9mpg was pitiful. Hence the
change to the 600cfm for the rest of the trip.
As you can see I started at the end of the trip and progressed
to the beginning. The reasoning is dubious but the best setting came at the end
of the trip and I wanted to start with the best. I wasn't able to find
non-ethanol after I left Kansas until I got back to Colorado on the return. That
would be suspect to decrease the mileage as ethanol requires more fuel. For
example if I use E-85 in my flex-fuel Durango I will get about 18-20percent
worse gas mileage. A bit more power though it seems. E-10 would not make that
much difference obviously. BUT I don't like the adverse effects to our carbs. I
would like to mention that I used some JB Fuel System treatment at the beginning
of my last leg home and that just may have helped some with the ethanol.
I am thinking that I will be changing to a .092 Primary Jet
and perhaps with a 7042 rod. My climate and 1100ft altitude seem to push me a
bit richer. I just gotta change something! It's what I do.....
