I noticed I am running lean. Should I change the jets? The driver side is running lean and the passanger side isnt. What could cause this to happen> What do I need to do to fix it? I am far from a carb expert. I know my timing is on so it isnt that. My set up is dual holley 600's on a 455 olds 10.5-1 motor.

See if you can get Ty to hook you up with THIS GUY (http://forums.***boat.net/ubb/ultimatebb.php?ubb=get_topic;f=5;t=001787) . He seems to be quite skilled at carbamerator work. :D :D

How do you know you are lean on one side? Plug readings? EGTs? Tunnel Ram? Or regular Dual Quad set-up?

Hello HH
I thought perhaps 396 was serious about needing some help getting his rig ready to go this summer. I noticed he did reply to other posts and not this one. Maybe he got it fixed already.
Jeff I have enjoyed your e-mails and figured I would give this place a chance again but I stay only in the gearhead section. I have been working in Maryland since last Sept. but I am home for a few weeks.
396 if you are serious about some help I live a couple of miles away and do have a little mechanical experiance.
