Hello again, I'm trying to remember something from a while ago in regards to these carburetors. But, I'm trying to remember if a Lean Burn carburetor can be jetted properly to run properly once you run an electronic ignition? One thing I've come across with the later carburetors as well is the lack of idle speed adjustment as well on the later car applications.
I'm just curious because I have a 79 TQ from a LB car application and I have freshly rebuilt TQ with an 80 truck application. The '80 truck carburetor is less complex and allows me to adjust the idle speed and I think a vacuum port to allow the advance from the distributor as well.
I've read a couple of times a LB carburetor even if jetted properly still may not function correctly or be good enough plus they don't have the port for the vacuum advance. Just curious. Thank you in advance.
