Ok I am thankfull for all the input but this is getting so far off topic that it is bypassing the original questions. I know that the carb more than likely needs the 50cc accelerator pump upgrade from Holly. I have the silver spring for the vaccume secondaries but the carb spits fuel at partial throttle. I dont fully understand how a 3 inch exhaust is the reason for my fuel problems with the carb.
Not being a smart ass guys or anything like that so please dont take it that way, but would rather stay on topic.
..... it falls within your topic and other details. Regarding your problem, you hit the nail on the head... it isn't a possible cause. What's the manifold vacuum engine idling?.... LUK

See this is where the problem is Joel, I never said it was his problem refering to the OP's original question. I just remarked on his exhaust after reading his combo. You just love taking anything I say and tearing it apart. Maybe he dosent have 14 years to get his car dialed in , lol

..... neither did I, or don't you see I simply stressed it based on John's observation when he wrote:

I know it isn't a cause for the fuel problem with either exhaust ID, you know it...... but that was what John interpreted as the solution, or part of the solution to the fuel problem he's dealing with. Maybe after reading....

You need to get that huge exhaust off. Your killing off the scavanging effect of the exhaust.
I simply confirmed it.... (John, feel free to correct me if I'm wrong BTW)..... and directly stated to him, it is NOT in the list of possible causes for that problem, so why waste money downgrading exhaust components.

Portmaster say, He who quotes his own quotes full of himself, lol
It's all about you baby, hahaha!!!
LOL.... love it when a relevant answer to the topic is obviously an impossible task, and a diversion towards something, totally unrelated to the topic, is used to draw the attention over trivialities....
If that's your opinion hey, everybody has one, just like other stuff...... at least I take responsibility of what I post, and try not to mention items that will cause unnecessary and wasteful expenditures (directly or by interpretation of the OP) on modifications that will not solve anything.

why not just answer his question and continue this enlightening debate.
He posed no relevant question. I simply commented that the OP's exhaust was too large running E7 heads AFTER I gave him a suggestion to solve his problem.
If you are condoning argument for the sake of keeping the thread alive feel free to throw in your opinion as to the OP's original question. I just don't buy into Joel's techno babble BS.
I think I need to edit the word argument to discussion in your post.........as for entering the debate, I'd keep the exhaust he has on there.....why?? cause one he gets a h/c/i that'll utilize the 3 inch to the fullest extent he'll be glad he's not having to buy exhaust all over again.....we all know we constantly change out combos in the quest for more power, so why not keep parts that'll support a bigger and better combo. I could of saved a lot of money early on had I done such
