setting barrel valve on a 526 kb olds

what cylinder is it best to read off of when setting the barrel valve on a 526 kb olds with 14 degree heads,what temp is best?

 

Whats the cyl got to do with setting the barrel valve?

 

Ditto ?????????????

 

I would guess what he means is setting the barrel valve by exhaust temp. I have heard you want about 800 degrees at 2000 rpm. The correct way to set it would be with a leak down tester and who ever flowed your fuel system should be able to give you a starting point.

 

setting by exhaust temp is what i ment.

 

Not a good idea. Only reference the exhaust temp and if it is too hot then look for the problem.....barrel valve settings.....wrong nozzles....etc....
