No traffic here, why do you think I post all my ponderings in the 2nd gen section? Glad to see you're on board.
So to re-cap, the carb I've got is for a 1976 Federal emissions 440. And I need to find the engine SN stamp on the block tomorrow.
One thing I've noticed about the reference sheet is that it says that that carb has 1 1/2in primaries, I had also read that all 440's had 1 3/8in primaries, so I don't understand how that works? lol

Apparently they came with both.
C/P
1-3/8" vs. 1-1/2": The TQs have two different primary bore sizes. These
units can be interchanged. The smaller bore will yield slightly better
throttle response, but less overall flow.
Over the next few days I will brush up on my info, been a long time since I played with this stuff.
Did I read you played with the metering rod and made it backfire through the carb? Did you check to see if the timing advance is working?

I did play with the metering rod, and it did backfire. However, I wasn't able to make it do it again even after I richened it up some more. Seems to be a fluke at this point. Runs much better with the richer mixture.
I attempted to see if it was working....apparently I don't have enough suction through my mouth. lol But from what little suction I was able to accomplish via that, I couldn't feel any holes in the vacuum advance unit.
