Edelbrock 1409
Working on an 89 4.3 just rebuilt engine and installed a1409 edelbrock carb. Since this is just a 4.3 i installed the 1485 jet/metering rod kit.
Got it out on the lake today and it's pretty doggy. Max rpm is 3700, it runs out decent but stumbles and hesitates on acceleration. At first i thought maybe i was drowning it in fuel, but after reading a bit, it sounds more likely that it's starving for fuel. Anything past 3/4 throttle it's a constant bog.
Any thoughts are appreciated. I'm thinking about putting the stock Jets back in and seeing how it does even though they are for a v8.
Is there a good way to tell if it's a lean vs rich condition without pulling plugs?
Thanks for any help.
