Currently My car has idle and will accelerate and go over 60mph.
Problem is that my choke is always half way closed up.
If i pull the choke completely shut, my car will bog and want to stall if i press the gas pedal down to the floor.. And if i push the choke all the way open, my car will go kind of ratatata and not accelerate past a certain rpm.. Closing the choke half way will get rid of the ratata thing and start to accelerate normally.. But when i'm on 3rd gear @ low rpm's.. And i want to overtake somebody.. If i press the gas pedal down to engage kickdown, the car will bog down and if i pump the gas pedal in a certain way, some times i manage to activate the kickdown and start to accelerate hard on second gear..
The two screws that work the metering rods and accelerator pump are out of spec cause i screwed around with them trying to make it work..
Idle mixture screws are turned in until the idle starts to stall and then turned out until it starts to stall and then turned right in the middle. (Correct adjustment)
Idle speed is around 650rpms while engaged in drive. 900rpm when on P or N.
Car starts by putting pulling the choke all the way closed and then pumping the gas pedal 2 times.. Starts up like if it was fuel injected.. My rpm's at full choke are 1000rpm.
My vacuum lines are connected:
-Throttlebody has 3 ports.. One in the front between mixture screws is plugged cause i don't have a charcoal canister.
Two on the back are two identical large ports.. One closer to the rockercover is connected to the PCV valve.. The other is connected to the vacuum port on the intake that connects to the brake booster. (I'm assuming it's wrongly connected cause it's a small vacuum line thats taped up to work on a bigger port.)
The red vacuum line comeing from the firewall is connected to the back of the carburetor and the grey line is just curled up and not even plugged.. Not sure if it's a vacuum line or a electrical wire?
The distributor line is connected to the back of the carburetor near where the red line is connected to.
Bowl vent is plugged cause i don't have a charcoal canister.
Thermo valve on the air cleaner housing is connected to the air cleaner housing behind the air filter under the housing..
The vacuum thing on the exhaust valve is connected to the box on the side of the air cleaner housing and the top port of the box is plugged.
Found some old pics (I'm running a different carb):
The vacuum lines are hooked up identically as the old carb was hooked up earlier
The one line disconnected on the picture next to the pcv valve vacuum port is re connected and the port is as big as the pcv valve port. (The tiny vacuum line is crammed inside the port and taped up)
How can i get it to accelerate and idle smoothly without any bogging up or having to have the choke 1/2 way pulled in?
My first quess is that the small vacuum line that connects from the intake manifold to the throttlebody is incorrectly hooked up and it's springing an vacuum leak by bypassing fuel and getting air trough the line?
