Thanks.

I am still tweaking it a bit, as I replaced the plugs to a little cooler plug the day after the carb, and am in the middle of doing the plug wires. I had some trouble getting the right plugs, as it is an '80 Vette motor, with aluminum heads. There are several options, which include a shorter and longer plug. I ended up going with the longer one = AC Delco 41-602 gapped at .045. The old ones were gapped at .041, so it runs a little different now.

But yes, it does seem to idle better, or at least make the cam lobe more of a gallop.
I had it burning tires through all of first gear and into half of second before I changed plugs. Now I have to tweak it again to get it exact.

I looked at the "Avenger" models with the pretty anodized body, but the HP version was more like a Dominator, with 4 matching barrels instead of the stock looking butterfly primary portion. The HP's have no choke, are mechanical secondaries, and are "street/strip" rated with an all business design.
