I have the 3 deuces running and now trying to tune it better. I tossed the Spectre fuel pressure regulator after reading the manual for 56 Ford V8's for which this 2110 was intended stating the fuel pressure should be 4.5 PSI. That is what my mechanical pump puts out and it drives okay, no flooding or fuel running out everywhere. Now I am trying to get the idle speed down with the Mummert 270 cam for the Fordomatic. It won't idle in gear under 750RPM and to get that in-gear idle speed it needs to idle in neutral at 1100-1150RPM. I am now using a 4.5 power valve and the manifold vacuum in gear is about 10 inches. 14 degress initial timing and running manifold vacuum to the distributor. No power valves or idle circuits on the end carbs. I had to modify the fuel bowl on the 2110 to accept the newer style Holley power valve. This meant grinding with a Dremel the area where the power valve fits in the fuel bowl wall adjacent to the venturis. The newer valves are taller and the step in the wall will hold the valve partially open. My current problem is hot re-starts. After driving and letting the car sit for 20 minutes or so, the fuel pressure drops off. It won't start until I crank it enough for fuel pressure to return. When it does start it takes several seconds to get up to speed stumbling while in neutral sitting still. I have thought of an electric booster but that may just be a bandaid. The fuel bowl doesn't feel hot enough to boil the fuel out while it sits. Any ideas would be helpful. Thanks.



Here is a link to the fuel bowl modification I found on the HAMB by Psychobilly:
