Hi Guys ...

I've been getting my '68 Camaro Road Worthy for years ... lol ... and last year I was actually able to drive it some after alignment and exhaust was finished ...

However, I've not been able to lean out the car during idle and it's extremely rich during idle, so I decided to do a little air bleed work and have some questions ...

I have a carb. that was prepped by Scott years back over at SD Concept Engineering for my D1SC blow through setup ...

I never really payed any attention to the air bleeds until now ...

Are these just protective caps and Scott forgot something here? Or some sort of special air bleeds that Scott uses? I'm use to seeing Brass Screw in Air Bleeds?

I wanted to pull the air bleeds in order to read the sizes on the screws but obviously these have no sizing on them ...

I plan to call over there and ask a few questions, but you guys have always been good in helping me ...

Thanks,

TIM

being that this is a blowthru carb things aren't going to be like a normal carb, i've personally never had to deal with this type of set up but my .02 is open the bowls and see if you can change the idle fuel jet, assuming you have an adjustable setup, that way you don't adjust the air bleed.

Definitely call up Scott and ask him about it.

Great shop, by the way: Wendy is awesome and Scott is a mad scientist when it comes to tuning. He did an amazing job tuning my Monte last year.
