Default running rich
I have a 427/435 with two Holly 2300 and one 2300C. Float level and idle mixture is correct. Still has light smoke at idle and heavy smoke when opened up. I've been told to check if they have factory jets. Does any one know what size jets should be in the carbs? Can anyone refer a garage in the Houston area that can work on a 3x2 carb setup?
Thanks.

Yes, I don"t drive the car that often.I'm guessing it started smoking awhile ago but I just started to notice.
