Carbs

[rbt@bu.edu (Robert Bruce Thompson)]

Hello everyone-

I've got a question about carbs for the t-3.  My 72 Sqbk had injection,
drove me barking mad, and I changed it to dual carbs NOS bought from some
outfit in Texas.  They are 32 PICT? solexes, with I believe 130 main jets.
I also changed over to a 009.  And I did all the obvious things like plug
up the vac holes.

The questions are:

1. Was that carb set up for a 1500 not a 1600?

2. If yes, is that the reason for the car running very lean, popping back
through the carbs even when warm and barely
getting to 55 - 60 mph on a straight?

3.  If changing the main jets is the thing to do, what's the most sensible
number?  140?
145?  150?

4. Could there be any other explanation to my power problems?   (related to
carbs/fuel/air)

Thanks very much in advance.
