Just installed the 600 double pumper I bought from E.J.It was missing the choke plate and shaft when I got it.Ordered them tonight at Pep Boys.It seems to idle really high,about 1500-2000rpms.Could the missing choke plate be causing this?If not how do you tune one of these?Also did away with Pcv valves and my smoking on start up went away.Put in valve cover breathers in their place,could this be a temporary fix?Will the smoking come back after a few miles are put on it?If it doesn't then a rebuild may not be due as soon as I thought.If I can get 3 more months out of it I'll be alright.Had to put the Stang down this morning,engine needs rebuilt,think it bent some push rods.So I need the Grabber a little longer than anticipated.
Thanks
Arnie
