Got a chance to get a short road test in between winter storms and so far I have the idle and cruise A/F ratios where I like.
However another hopefully warm break will return for more tuning in mid and full power ranges.
I will need to move up to a 4 inch cowl hood scoop height in place of the 3 inch I have now. Don't want to give up any height on my 1.5 inch carb spacers and could use the extra height anyway.
Stared out with 64 jets in the primary of both carbs with the stock 1850 secondary metering plates and 6.5 PV.
The off idle was a bit fat so screwed in some .076 Idle Air Bleeds in primary which got me in the 13.4 to 13.7 zone at low speed cruise.
Next test will be with vacuum gauge and A/F meter to plot out final jet and PV setup.

Re: My 427W dual quad project up and running.
looks like a fun ride for sure. The main thing that jumps out to me is the rubber fuel line and plastic fuel filter. Those have no place on any vehicle IMHO, but surely not in a high performance street car. I hope you're planning on replacing that stuff before you take to out on the street. Be safe, have fun...

The plastic fuel filter you see is NOT being used in the fuel system. It is part of my PCV system.thedynoguy wrote:looks like a fun ride for sure.

The PCV flow is pulled into the large oil/air separator you see on right fender and then the plastic filter stops anything else and also gives me a visual as to how it's working.
The rubber fuel lines are kept as short as possible from the fuel log only and current 427 FE dual quad setups still use that setup other than full race applications. All the other fuel line is braided hose and I keep a check on it and replace when needed.
I may replace the rubber hose junctions later with braided line but this was a quick way to get the system up and running.
