Hey guys, im STILL trying to figure this thing out. Well my motor wont idle right, so one day i decided to change my proform baseplate for the old one, and it actually idled good. The problem with my old baseplate is that the secondary pump lever is broken, hence the new baseplate. After the breakthrough, i compared the baseplates, and the passages are different. The holes all line up but there are some ridges that the proform does not have. is there a reason for that? or do i have to custom machine it? I thought it was a slap on and go. i already drilled the primary butterflies 1/8". the cam is a 305H. The carb is a holley 800DP(4780), the baseplate is P/N PRO-67155 from summit, and the color is purple, but no p/n on the baseplate just the box. anybody ever run one of these things?

Thanks.

The butterflies measure 1-11/16 so it is for the 800 carb. but i still cant get it to run with it, without cranking the primary idle screw way up.
