The Ford Barn - View Single Post - Primary carb- Front or back?

My suggestion is to keep at it. I'd concentrate on how well the back carb seals at idle. You might try temporarily blocking off the rear carb to determine where the problem is. As to blocking it off permanently, I just don't swing that way. I also don't put faux Oldsmobile valve covers on an SBC.

One thing to keep in mind is "the majority of carburetor problems are ignition related and vice-versa".
