Prefered port check location & pressure
« on: April 25, 2018, 10:57:18 AM »
In my mind, i see it better that the port check be located at the dist block so the feed line stays full.

Also, my idle check is 5.5#. port check should be............? 10?

 Hi Greg!

 Yup, I agree...in the distribution block is the way to go.

 You just want to make sure it's closed at an idle, so typically about 15 PSI is good.

I finalized my port setup today.  idle is 6# (normal for my deal) and the ports pop @ 14#.  We are testing soon. :)  thanks for the .032s.  Adding to my collection. :)  looking forward to having more even plug readings.
