I have a small block with an edelbrock tunnel ram and two Holley 600's.Runs great idles good,slight stumble on acceleration.I checked the plugs and they are black.I'm running a really hot ignition and platinum plugs,thats why it runs good.What can I do to lean it out?If I spray carb cleaner in the carbs,there is no change in rpm,I thought this was good.Can I turn the mixture screws in or do I need to change jets?I believe I have #66 jets now(I bought the setup used}.Your help is always welcome,you guys have brought me through this project to this point.

No replys?? well I'm no carb guy or anything but if it idles smoothly I would not touch the adjustment screws, maybe too much fuel too soon.Do both carbs open at the same time or one before the other.Try adjusting 4-barrels to open later and see if the stumble goes away. If plugs are rich all the time maybe a jet size reduction is in order.Try one thing at a time. Hopefully someone else will reply here. Dave
