Yea it is pretty annoying that he is dead set on not looking at the valves. I've tried several times to get him to budge but he won't.
Then there is absolutely nothing we can do. Your uncle's car will just have to keep running poorly until he stops being dumb. Get back to us when/if that happens.

My guess is he or someone he knew had a "bad experience" with valve adjustment in the past.

Best of luck! Working on family members can be a lot harder than working on cars... :)

Well the miss is gone. And in a Ripley's Believe it or not moment, I did NOT mess with the valves.

I took his Carter BBS and rebuilt it. Found a couple things wrong in there.... check balls, floats, etc. Tossed it on there in place of the Holley, and it idled right down. There's a little bog in it when you transition from idle to gas, but the miss is gone.
