    Unhappy 86 Tri-Z ?'s & probs

    I keep seeing it different on posts but I just want to make sure it is correct. But moving the needle and clip are the same on different carbs, right?

    Moving the needle up while lowering the clip "Leans"?
    Moving the needle down while raising clip "Riches"?

    Also anyone have any idea where my stock carb off my 86 should the clip be in what position?

    What plug should I run in my Z? B8ES or B9ES?

    moving the clip UP on the needle leans it, moving the clip DOWN richens it.

    most comes stock in the middle, although im not 100% sure on Z's

    either plug will work, in NGK the lower the number the hotter the plug burns, the higher the number the cooler it burns (8 will burn hotter then 9)

    The stock plug for it is b8es and stock clip setting is the 3rd groove down, farther up is leaner and down is richer.

    Should I run the B9ES in it then, if stock is B8ES? I just want to make sure I don't screw it up.
