Kind of busy today. Ran across a Hot Rod article I had read at one point on Power Tour carb tuning.

Holley had one of their Technical Guys tune several participants engines during the trip.
Basically the tech adjusted the carb for best cruise and f.e. as well as improving HP of the engines.
Using a air/fuel meter, basic tools, and "carb sense".
The Link is here:

A Holley Air/Fuel Meter was used as well as a timing light and carb parts were replaced as required to improve the results.

The reason for this post and the link is to provide some documented actual road numbers for people on a "cruise mode" situation which is the topic for today plus have people identify basic carb/engine screw-ups on the different vehicles. Have fun. There are several owner screw-ups in the article.
