I don't understand the 1/8 pipe plug reference
noslin:
thank you for the videos, it helped me understand a few things; especially not having done this before.

most hats have extra hole or two.They are plugged off with 1/8 pipe plug.Remove one pulg and idle will gain 200 to 300 rpm. as said it just makes simpler since you do not have to readjust BV. Most setups stay pretty close except when good change in Correct altitude causes idle to change. If hats is off and has no holes with plugs is pretty simple to set up cpl holes and plug them till needed.
While I'm giving tips. You can also use holes to keep check on blower. Pull one plug and use to check vacuum on fresh blower. Record number.Check every so often,if idles is same it should read same,if down blower is falling off and probably needs stripping. Not big deal on most of stuff guys here are running but if your running headsup where power is king then blower is number one piece needed to get max out of it,well according to some old guy named Newberry. Then what does he know about blown alky stuff.LOL

Got it, thanks, check blower performance, if it is falling off (strips being worn), with vacuum is a good tip.

The next one is going to take some time and should be interesting (spoiler, Seat pressure is not high enough so the valve springs need to be replace, will talk about spring bind, clearance, etc I have to say I have had quite an education over the last week)
