Hello all,
Sunday the weather here (New York) was abnormally warm so I took the 35 out to a "cruise in). It was at least a 45 minute ride at 50 mph each way. Thats revving up there in the rpm's. She has 4:11 gears. The car ran great!
I have not touched the adj. jets. I just pulled the plugs and 5 of 6 are clean. The one closest to the firewall #4 cylinder was sooted up a bit. Whatta ya think?
Rgds, Joe

Will keep a close ear and eye on her! Thanks...

Hi Harv,
Well this is how it went today. There were not enough o's in ooop's. The first adjustable jet I loosened the nut which was tighter than I thought. Sooo as I loosened it the knob slid out of my finger tips and I lost count.
I went to the second one being alot more cautious I counted 3 full turns out. Sooo assuming they are both the same I turned the both of them in to a gentle seat and backed them out 2 turns. Drove her a while, came back and pulled the plugs and noted their condition. Cleaned them up. The car ran smoother. Did the quarter turn test and checked the plugs four times in all.
She seams best at 2 full turns but I did not use the Uni-syn yet. The plugs and I are now on a first name basis as all 6 have individual names. Kind of like seven dwarfs. I am dopey...

Thanks will do.

Compliments appreciated...

Harv (appreciator of Chebbies),
Thank you so much for the info! It's just what I needed. I actually live on the other side of the pond. So as much as I would love to give you a ride, it probably won't happen soon. My car is a Standard 207. You guys are the only ones that know anything about Strombergs. I bought my venturi restrictors from a fellow (Mr. Whitby) he is on your side. He was extremely helpful when I originally put them on my car. Well this weekend I will give your advise a try. Thanks again.
Joe

The first one is the 35. Second 1956 Chebby, last is a 1935 Ford.

Thank you.

About one year ago I installed dual BXOV-2's on a fenton intake. My car is a 35 Chevy with the original drive train. Except the dual exhaust as well. I can't find anyone here to troubleshoot my issues. With the car that is.
The car runs well. But when I pull the spark plugs they are jet black with carbon. When I ask someone to do an adjustment it comes back three steps backwards.
My carbs have adjustable jets and venturi restrictors. Please help.
