Hi guys.
Thanks for the help. Been doing all the things back from scratch, 1 at a time, and writing it in a log book. Car starts/ runs well now. Power vales are 9's. No die'n at stop signs. Miss is gone in the midrange when I started putting bigger jets in. You guys were right, tunnelram setup was running too lean I guess. Found float adjustments to be flakey... right one day, next day reset again. Re did timing to 36-38 at 2000. Re -adjusted valves to 1/8 turn from zero lash on hyd's. Still had miss and electric tach bounced all over. Pulled the MSD coil and ballast, for Accel hiperf one. R/r suspect plug and wires. Miss cleared (for now) Checked comp and all cyl within 5 pounds + - 150. Temp is 170 - 190 with 165 stat in.
So, after some short runs on the freeway, steady - no racing, just firm running, tail pipes and spark plugs still look lean. While at idle, runs great about 750 - 900. (reading I have been doing suggests that this setup will run poorly at idle when fuel is right for best power at speed)Your thoughts?
Thinking that I will keep on steppin up the jets till I hit too rich. What else should I look for on my journey to tune this setup through the idle/transition/secondary carb circuits?
Thanks Guys. graemlins/clonk.gif
