just had to clean the BBD carb on a 1970 318 Dodge auto, was ok till I floored it and blocked every orifice, ended up getting a small cup full of crud out, honest, never seen so much. anyway I now have to undo decades of 'tweeks to keep it running' but am unable to find base settings for idle jets. Hot or cold it takes lots of cranking and pedal to the floor to start, once started its sweet as a nut and drives fine. I set the needles at fully in then out 4 turns. On strip they were 1/2 a turn out and the car wouldn't start after cleaning. When cold the choke ( top butterfly)is fully closed should there be a gap?
