Default Four corner idling adjustment?

What does that mean? Reference to Holley carbs. Does it mean the air-fuel mixture can be adjusted at each corner of the carb? Advantage over the 2 corner adjustment?

Only certian carbs have 4 corner idle A/F adjustment screws. I use a Demon carb and you have to set all idle screw to the same number of rotations out from gently seated.

I was just looking over your web page - nice job on the car and page!

I have not been able to login to my home page lately, but it's available to look at. what's up with that?

Yeah, me too. Maybe it's the administrators way to stop and additions and changes. Maybe they don't want any more photo's added to our pages...bandwidth and all.

I take that back George. Evidently they're having a problem. Troy is checking it out.

I also have a Demon carb, four corner adjustments are easy once you get the hang of it, my carb has been great and a definite improvement over the Holley I had and that was good but not as responsive and smooth as the Demon....and your right gkull, his 70 looks great....
