Hi all,
I picked up my EB about a year ago from someone at much lower elevation. He had just put a new motor (http://www.phoenixmusclecar.com/stock.html#PowerFord Power1) in it and hadn't driven it much. It has 35" tires and 5.5" of total lift. I'm under no delusions of this thing being a commuter vehicle.
The thing runs like a top, but it is definitely running rich. I'm getting about 6MPG on the 55mph highways (maybe this is normal, but I'm hoping not) and there is a strong odor of fuel when I come to a stop while driving.
I'm not sure where to go for jetting and rods though. I live at 5,500' feet and elevation and mostly drive to higher elevations.
Currently
Rods: .074 X .047
Main Jets: 0.95
Looking at the Edelbrock owners manual, it looks like setting 11 is the next (and last!) leaner option with .071 X 0.47 rods and 0.92 jets. I'm unsure if this is the right choice for me.
Does anyone have any relevant advice on what I should try for jetting? I'd appreciate any advice anyone can give!
