Anybody got any ideas on what the chromed piece is on the back of this Edelbrock 1805 Carburetor? I'm thinking it's a setup to run the primaries with the secondaries like how Holley has some of their carbs.. I'm thinking it's giving me too much fuel, I had to kick my RPM's down a bit, advance my timing and mess with air/fuel to get a flat spot out of the carb and it was dieseling like no other again! Intake has an oil leak too, thinking that may have a factor in the dieseling, it's sucking air along with leaking oil.
It seems to have stopped doing it as bad. I'm gonna eventually get a 1405 for it and get rid of this POS 1805, I believe this setup at the moment is too much carburetor for this engine.
Side note, it doesn't have TBI heads, the heads aren't centerbolt valve cover heads, they are regular 1959-1986 SBC Valve Covers, which means I'm gonna buy the Black Crinkle finish Edelbrock's for it at work.
