Do you ever flatten warped metering blocks? And if so how do you do it? Very informative videos, I appreciate you taking the time to make them. Cheers, Max

Thank you for watching. I used a file or piece of sand paper on a known flat surface. O dont get them perfect, just take the high spots out and just a tad more Tightening them I just use my thumb and finger. Ill go over them again the same way a few times after the bowls fill with fuel. I dont crush the gasket all at one or two tries. I do it in stages.

@@firstrespondergarage I rebuilt my 4160 and idle is good but as soon as you go off of curb idle it stumbles and trembles as if it is not running on all 8 cylinders. I have watched countless hours of Holley issues and tried them all I think. This is on 1986 F150 5.8. This has me bewildered. I’ve tried mor things than I can list here

@@firstrespondergarage if I pull the emulsifier tubes how do I seal the hole in the cap after reinstallation. Is it possible for me to ship mine to you for repair? This carb has kicked my butt! Thanks
