It was so rich it would burn your eyes. As I turned that choke body around the choke flap started to open.

Anyway, I have both idle screws at about 1.75 turn out. Choke is much better, idle needed adjusted way down, and we have it about 20 - 22 Deg fast now

What a difference. No popping, the throttle is super crisp. About 16psi on a vac gauge on the back manifold vacuum port.

What do you guys think? Should I just drive it for now and see? It seems much healthier and happier.

Do you have an aftermarket cam in it? I'd expect to see higher vacuum. I have about 19" Hg of vacuum at warm idle.
