Pleased with the results.  It runs much smoother at idle. About 700 RPM with the big cam I have. I wish it was manual choke though. I got an auto choke version (2101S). The 2100S is manual choke. Gonna check the gas mileage next. The Rochester was getting me 18 MPG. | | |

B on my 292 with a YF Carter for some time now, this'll hurry me up on it. Getting a bit over 18 MPG in my '55 Bel Air on road trips now, what got me started was I can't find Roch. jets & I learned that YF's use the same as AFB jets, I've got a bucket of those, sure wish the met. rods were the same.

He posts on a couple forums, not sure about this one, & says YF's are better. Shipwright - check out the www.film.queensu.ca/CJ3B/Tech/Carburetor.html page for YF tips. Doug | | |
