Re: Palf's Little Blue Jimmy
After finally getting some rods, jets and springs in , plus all this rain getting done, I was able to continue my tuning on the ole Edelbrock carb. Seems like I finally found the sweet spot and it runs good. I was really nervous at messing it up, but She is running smooth. Definitely not an economy thing. The 250s never were that great, but I am back to getting what I did before the rebuild/hop-up. at 70-75 cruising it seems to be about 11 with the AC on, 13-14 without AC. Not to bad for an aero cinderblock with crappy rear gears (2.73) and an automatic.
I am still glad I kept the 6, but I think if I ever redo it, I'll got with a V8. Now it is just drive it. Once the rain left us yesterday, I got some good behind the wheel time. Love cruising the ole dude.
