I have been messing with the same piece all weekend. It is e "relief valve" for the zero fitting.

Forget the cost... It is a big safety upgrade! Especially with big power.

How bad does the engine roll at idle? I doubt you will get all of it out. It's a characteristic of carbs on big blowers... Rich-lean roll. Real pain in the ass to get it in gear. Some guys disable neutral safety switches and just start it in gear like it was a crash box.

I love that sound although I have never had to deal with it. Is it a pian to operate? Are we talking about a high surge then it almost shuts off?

Just drop it in gear when the idle goes low.

It rolls to the point of almost dying. It has stalled on me when shifting into gear at the low point of the roll. If I leave a little throttle to it after the engine is warm and been running a while, it smooths out and is still under 900 rpm. Its not hard to operate otherwise. Im just not a carb guy and I figured I'd let Dave take a look at it and see if he can correct some of it.

It also helps if you have a locked out distributor and control the timing with a programmable ignition box. Such as a digital msd 6. If you have any mechanical advance in the distributor it will aggrevate the problem. With a digital box you can also put a boost retard curve in with a map sensor and run more boost... more power!! :evilb::evilb:
