Re: My HMT 78 Chevy Monte Carlo
That's how they function. Plus with them you can run alot less jet and maintain a good a/f during cruise. On my last turbo car they were the cure. I dropped 2 points in the a/f ratio with the vent tubes. Then I jetted the carb back down till I got a satisfactory a/f ratio. Ran great and didn't make the people behind gag during cruise.

Re: My HMT 78 Chevy Monte Carlo
I am going to try the bigger needle and seatsand see what kind of effect it has on the carb. If that doesn't do it, I will give the vent tube extensions another shot, but this time with less jet than 72 and 82.
I was thinking today that my tank still has the stock pick up with 5/16 line and a factory style sock. I think I am going to drop the tank, remove the pick up and modify it the HMT way to run a 1/2 feed line to the pump and all the way to the regulator. I figure 50 dollars or so on material and it would definitley give me peace of mind. I don't know why I didn't think of running it that way in the first place. That 5/16 line could definitely be the draw back of my fuel system. I am going to try swapping the needle and seats first and try the vent tubes again, but I don't think that either will be enough until I get rid of the restrictive 5/16 feed line.
