Hello All,

After spending most of vacation doing a rebuild (After we ate the rod
bearing!!   Oh MY!!!),  I have a completely new motor (Pistons,  cam,
tappets,   etc...).  I decided  to install a  Hi performance cam from
Moss  during the rebuild.  All things considered,  the car is running
great  (Idle/Power).  When I checked the  plugs after a good run they
seem  to be a little on the lean side.  I have access to an emissions
analyzer so I decided to give it a shot.  To my surprise the analyzer
shows  a very rich  idle mix.  The carb's  are recently rebuilt stock
HIF4's.   Has  anyone  on  the list  tried  changing  to  a different
jet/needle  combination for a similar  situation??  If so where might
one  obtain them,  and is there  anything in particular I should look
for  when  purchasing them,   or am  I barking  up the  wrong tree???

                Thanks in Advance............
