No matter what value you have for your power valves, they should not be passing fuel at idle. If you have completely shut the throttle valves and...
The radiator is the only place where the coolants from each side of the engine can mix together. Each side of the engine has a separate cooling...
I am assuming this is a Holley 94 that we are all familiar with. I have run dual Holley 94's on my '40 flathead for 23 years running with regular...
