Are both carburetor setup the same? PV and jetting? If not.....

The fuel mixture looks too rich. Reduce the jetting size or increase the power valve to
a higher factor to prevent it from opening too soon.

Also, look for leaking needle and seat in carb and excessive fuel pressure.

They list as 3 circuit 1050 cfm. 3 circuit do not work well in a boat app. You can convert them to 2 circuit but I don't know how much you want to git in to.

You have Holley 9375's.. the faint stamping below the "9375" ( as though you were reading it right side up) is the date code

hello speedy,,,,,the O2 sensor can not get wet , correct???
not sure if i can do that with my extension pipes,,,as they are wet.....
i guess ,,i could make them dry dump water out another way ,,,but would the exhaust extensions and tail pieces in transom get to hot????

unless i make new extension pipes and make them like headers...double walled...that would be a fun welding challenge

thanks for advice
