Default Edelbrock carb question
Somehow my fast idle has deactivated..... How do I adjust the fast idle cam on the Edelbrock Performer? Sure do need it at startup since the weather got chilly. Many thanks as usual.

pull back your throttle and you will see a screw at bottom, screw in and it will set your fast idle, you dont need no more than 1500 rpm

Always appreciate the help...

Ain't nothing gonna make my car fast....

But maybe dual quads would be alright. One Eddy 500 CFM and one Holley 750 CFM.... And I can cut up one of my old french horns to rig up some special linkage......

Naw, I just pulled a nice 327 for a 283, so you can tell it's just a cruiser...

But what do you have in mind???
