Went from 150's down to 120's and changed from F2 to F4 emulsions and got an amazing result- now the ratios read:

Idle = 14-15 to 1 ratio

WOT= 10-11 to 1 ratio

Cruising at 3500-4000rpm = 13 to 1 ratio

Decel (closed throttle) = 16-18 to 1 ratio


Running really nice now with minimal popping on decel (just a bit left). Good transition and pulling well in the top rpm's. Going to move to try and rate the high rpm response by fiddling with the air correctors.

Took Tim's advice and tuned the idle jets based on max vacuum, and it came out to a 14-15 to 1 ratio so things make sense there.

Still a mystery to me why a high compression 2.0 with a 104 like cam is happy with a 120 main jet, it's really bizarre, but I remember when I first got the car 125's were in it and it was running pretty good. From my understanding F3 and F4 emulsions are kind of not really used on sidedrafts too much, which is what the book says. Going to have to research a bit more why these seem to work and the F2's run too rich.
