It's Christmas eve, and I spend most of the day tuning the Edelbrock carb on the '71 Chevelle. There has been a flat spot on part-throttle acceleration for a while, but Sarah didn't seem to be bothered buy it. For the past week I've been driving the Chevelle, so I noticed it a lot! I pulled the spark plugs last night to check them, and it was running a bit lean. So today I ran to Roadrunners and picked up a new set of springs and metering rods to richen it up. It was noticeably better with just one change, and after a few more tweaks and test runs around the block, I think I have it dialed in. I then gave it a quick wash, and we are going to take it to my sister-in-law's house for the holidays....after all it is clean, running well and full of gas!

I'm with you on the snow. I think I need a Carb rebuilt on "Grandma's 70 Impala. Any advice?
