I was wondering if any of you guys had the spec's on the metering rods your running in your carbs on 250/292's.

I put a Clifford 4brl manifold and a 500 CFM Edelbrock on my 250..........I didn't want to fiddle with it until I finished the truck the engine is in and tried it on the street. Well, I finally took it for a drive today, It was idling rich, I knew that from running it here at the house, but right in the middle of the rpm ran it seemed like the power was killed and it didn't have anything left from their on up as it, and it didn't have the power the stock setup had. I was wondering what you guys might think the cause is..........Too much fuel or not enough? Ignition Timing? If I bought the spring/rod kit for this carb would it have what I need to tune it right? Or do I need other rods/springs?

I am a newbie to tuning a 4brl :rolleyes:
