Not an issue. The nins in the crosswalk will survive my driving.

Learned something new this weekend.
Drove the truck to a car show and to a friends house. Smells rich when idling. Boggs when the throttle is hammered. Throttle response is OK just normal driving.
I am assuming it is running rich all of the time. Was going to start leaning it out a little.
Put an AFR gauge in the driver side exhaust. It was an eye opener. I have never had an AFR gauge on a carbureted engine.
12.0-12.2 at idle after warm up. 13.2-13.8 under normal driving load. pegs the gauge at 38 when the throttle is hammered, and stays there until I back off. Now I know a part of why it is so gutless. It is obviously pumping air, with not nearly enough fuel going in.
The take away is, I need to lean it out at idle and figure out why so lean at WOT. I will work one step at a time.

I have always wanted to put a AFR gauge on a carb for that reason. I dialed in my quadrajet back in the day by reading the plugs and playing with timing. It was a lot of fun.
Have you hooked a vac gauge to it yet? Curious, I'm sure you know more about the topic then I do...
So does it have big ole pegs for secondary rods?
Probably not, but some smaller ones are easy to swap in and try.

No misfires or backfires. So I was going to go by experience. That would have been a fail.
My quadrajet tuning box disappeared during a storage session. Just ordered a new box of stuff.
That didn't last long.Fugly died on me going up hill.
It’s not a six-too…
I am standing on the rise in the road to get the semi's by.
Let the roasting begin.
If you told me that was @Bent77 running that tow truck I’d believe it…
There is a resemblance for sure…..
Only what you could see there. Dude was 280 easy
Any idea what happened?
It broke.
