Hi Joe,
The dwell angle is usually set from 28 to 30 degrees. Pretty sure that is equivalent to .016 with a flat gauge by hand. Just make sure your dwell gauge is still accurate - mine was not. If the points and condenser are not one piece, you can get the flat gauge in there with the points on the HIGH spot of the cam.

You're welcome, Joe. Use the flat gauge to be sure (.016) it is accurate. I picked up a used Dwell meter on Ebay and had it checked with my friend's to be sure. Talk soon.

Edelbrock Carb Block off Plates
Posted by Chase on March 12, 2025 at 2:05pm 13 Comments 0 Likes
Hey guys,
I have installed the same Edelbrock carb and have done everything the same as Jason’s carb and intake project. In the spring and summer months the car starts, runs and idles great!

I have to keep my foot on the throttle until it warms up or it will idle just terrible and try to die. Once it’s warm, it runs fantastic! Whats going on here? I was thinking of removing the…

Loud air moving sound within carb with cleaner removed
Posted by Dave Fehrle on March 23, 2024 at 3:23pm 8 Comments 1 Like
While checking my Carter carb with engine running, I took the air cleaner off and there was a very loud hissing sound of air. I placed a piece of paper over the carb and it didn’t move up or down, is this normal?
