Just so you don't think I was putting HIS off on his very rare 1050 Dominator Carb, IF I posted info on modifying a similar part number Dominator carb from a later production year, he would have destroyed the value of a very unique Dominator Carb offered to the Public in the 1st year of production. Not Racer Only units.
Later I will talk a bit about ASSUMING things that you read.
I will say that a 4150 style carb is not a Dominator Carb and adjustments for the .020" window in the Transfer Slot to Carb Blade Position WILL Be WRONG if messing with a Dominator Carb.
More like .005" window or a covered window from the top looking down but a filed edge exposing a very small slot.
This has to do with the size of the Dominator Carb in relation to the Idle Air Flow the engine actually wants.
A Dominator carb can be made to idle at 850 rpm and be happy with a big duration camshaft (in a Pontiac Engine)
using proper carb techniques. That being said, the camshaft type and spring pressures must be considered for the idle rpm too.
More later.
