A trick for the squirters. Use a dental pick to remove and install squirters and for gaskets use a long skinny flat head. Run gaskets to handle, pit just the tip in the hole then let gasket drop down screw driver the center. Also to raise idle without coming up to high on idle circuits, just adjust the secondary screw under neath by vacuum booster linkage.
I followed the Weiand instructions almost exactly and haven’t had a problem. It talks about where to set your base and total timing from the static compression ratio of your specific engine. I would recommend it as it’s kept me out of trouble.
Tip for setting your curb idle screw- hook your vacuum gauge to the ported vacuum port. As long as you have no vacuum at idle, you're on the idle circuit and your transfer slots are golden. It takes all the guesswork out of setting the idle. Have you looked into adding a dashpot for the AC?
Yes! I let is here. It got a bit damaged during shipping. Nothing serious, but it just made me pretty mad and I’ve been avoiding looking at it. I’ll get back to it, but it’s the Malibu’s turn at the moment.

great tips. thank you!
I appreciate the welcoming automatically like👍
very informative video, when you said "wide flathead screw stick", i blew out a stomach muscle laughing my a$$ off.
Did you plug the orfices for secondary power valve because not using the big plug I have same issue
What is the timing curve and total timing with your 144? Getting ready to install a 142. Thanks!

I thought there was a drill bit included and the main boosters needed to be drilled?
I will look into that.
I guess that answers that question you can run e85 with a forced induction.

I have a solenoid to bolt on the carb for a high idle but haven't put it on yet. good trick for the idle circuit too!
Where is your Vega did u bring it to Texas ??????
