OLD IRON - i have no backfire after replacing my power valves along with the rebuild. i dropped my power down to a 5.5 i think. i cant remember exactly, ive slept a few times since then haha. its really this hesitation when i floor that is the issue. I do have standard pumps on it, mechanical...

the flat spot is anytime i put the pedal to the floor. Normal driving is great!! i can cruise all around and it runs perfect. If i put the pedal to the floor easy then it wont happen. When it does happen i can left off and get back on easier and get on it. I did read my plugs after i rebuilt...

Engine is a 388ci with a high tunnel ram intake with twin 450 cfm carbs. It had horrible backfires, would stall all the time. I rebuild the carbs end of last summer, installed power valve protection, new power valves and all that jazz. Car runs much much better but i still have a huge flat...

Quick back story. My dad bought all this in 1989 when my parents got divorced. Think it a way to say "**** you" to my mom for making him sell his 54 corvette when they got married. lol regardless. In 07, he gave it to me cause he never finished it. I always had my own projects so i would work on...

i tore it down at work yesterday during lunch. Actually got it to tighten up a bunch but stil has a bit of slop. It kind of annoyed me so i bought a new steering box. lol. I can sleep in my car, cant drive a house.. 21willys : the numbers seemed to just be casting numbers. 261585 on the main...

Pulled this piece of junk out and found numbers, been searching for about 2 hours and havent come up with ****. Ima bring it to a local place and see if they can ID it or atleast have an idea. I'm trying to save for a damn house so i was really trying to not spend all the money on a new steering...

I dont see any numbers on it yet but i havent looked on the backside. all my mirrors are at work and i havent had it off yet. I might be stuck pulling it off to ID it. was hoping to not have much downtime. I hope its not a power unit. lol

Its a really ****ty picture. I'll try to get a better one if anyone thinks of an idea.

Not a vega box, don't know what it came out of. its insanely loose, adjustments aren't doing anything. Anyone have an idea..

I was gonna come out with the car but that same weekend is Trike fest at haspin acres and theres an unlimited class that i need to clean up with my 600cc powered 3 wheeler.

I actually might try a 700r4 first. Cause regardless i can use the 700r4 on any sbc engine i have it in.

Yeah thats the car. I drive 50 miles a day round trip to work. Im totally with you OldIron. its my intake and carbs that are killing me. Im also running a th400 tranny which doesnt help at all. This weekend ima fill my tank and plan to drive it all day so ima try and get a good mpg number. I...

Well gas hit over $4.50. At around 5 mpg. Daily driving my rod is getting tough. lol. I was NEVER one to complain about price of gas but its getting crazy now. Im almost thinking about throwing a stock GMPP 350ci into the car with a custom 8 individual throttle body setup. Wont have the power...

Well i did have two bent floats. I pulled the floats, bent the tabs a bit and put it all back together and adjustment went perfect.
