I put a bung in the exhaust and acquired a air fuel ratio device ,but have to wait till spring and the salt is off the roads to try. Has anyone tried this approach or tried fuel injection. Dave
I've heard of one guy using a throttle body on a 305 V6 but he only posted one picture.

Most EFI is just a glorified TBI unit. This is great when the intake manifold does its job of feeding an even air/gas mixture to all cylinders. But I'm not sure it actually does. Difficult to find out other than running the engine with an O2 sensor in each exhaust outlet to find the A/F ratio of each cylinder.

An air-fuel ratio gauge is definitely invaluable when tuning the carburetor. I'd be interested in your finds!
