emissions

[int77345]

Good morning fellas,
I just got done getting my emissions here in Colorado and was wondering if someone could tell me how the old Scout is running. I have a Scout II 345 and an edelbrock 4bbl carb. I passed easy.
Here are the numbers.
Hc at idle 354.0------limits 12000
hc at 2500 253.0----limits 12000
co% at idle 2.44------limits 6.0
co% at 2500 3.34----limits 6.0

just wondering if I am running to Rich or any info…..

Thanks

vehicle inspection report glossary

It seems that you are doing good, the carb inspection report glossary gives good definitions to interpret all that jazz from.

Hope this helps

Yes you are running richer than you need to. I shoot for around 1.5% co idle and cruise, that will increase your mpg slightly over your 3+%, with no loss of power or driveablity, if your ignition is up to snuff.

Thanks eric,
I am in denver at 5,000 feet. So to get the edlebrock to lean out a little is it better to change the jetting or the mettering rods?

Robert k is the best one to ask about that I've got no experience with calibrating edlebrocks.

The edelbrock owners manual does have good directions, it is available on-line as well.

Thanks eric,
I have been reading through the on line thing. 10 or so years ago when I went to the 4bbl I think I did jet down a size, but to tell the truth I dont remember as well any more.
Thanks for all your help
