Thanks, it'll probably still be for sale, The guy might back out, but I do think I should ask more for it. What does everyone else think? If i go much over 4K I'll be reaching FC prices. I just got a 93 CYM FD...that a buddy wrecked for me last night (don't even get me started on that one) But anyway, I gotta sell it.

Hey, nice car I have a couple questions though. Is that a Weber 45 dcoe or a 48 dcoe? What PSI of fuel are you running and what jets are you using?

How does it run with your current jet settings and do you have any advice for a amatuer carb jetter?

Thanks I appreciate it!

Hey man, It's a weber 45 Dcoe I don't know my current jettings, I'll check them out for you. I think i'm running around 5 psi for fuel. The car runs great..although it does seem to bog in low end (but i've been told that's normal for the webers) I think my idle air jets are 45f9, but can't be for certain.


Dworks- It's just a chopped shifter but PM Jorx81@aol.com I don't know if he still does it, but he does a really good job. PM and find out.

I noticed you all asked why should i sell this car? I've got a CYM FD and a 97 Ford Ranger, so the money can go elsewhere. I'm also selling off the Ranger for 2400 if anyone's interested.

Hey again, thanks a ton for checking out your jetting settings. I have been having nothing but troubles tuning my setup, and it appears to be identical to yours.

I know im running too rich, but everyone has told me to run F9-55's, which I still think is way too rich But I am also running about 3PSI of fuel... I dunno but get back to me on the jet sizes. I will have to get a wideband eventually...

Thanks alot I really appreciate it

d0 Luck- When i first got my FB your's was and inspiration to mod mine. It's yellow with the Mariah kit right? Now THAT is a beautiful car.


Dan s Young, I'm running 45 F9s. Try screwing the idle air screw all the way in and back it out two full turns. It'll run like crap at first but slowly back them out equally (tweak on the left then tweak on the right) You'll notice an idle difference (without messing with the idle screw) You want it to be as high as possible...it if starts getting sloppy screw the idle air screws back in until it levels out again. Once you get the idle as high and as smooth as possible back the idle screw down to get the idle as low and as smooth as possible...then try and get it to idle higher by using the idle air screws again if you can't get it any better than that's as good as it gets!
