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.

I checked all my floats and they are definitely not sinking. I did find a tiny piece of debri in my needle and seat, more then likely keeping it stuck open. Couldn't set fuel level with engine running. Whole car rocks too much with the bags and the shocks werent in. I should be set now. They...

Ok, Just rebuilt my twin 4160 that sit on top of a tunnel ram. Going todo my fuel bowl adjustment and i can set my needle and seats all the way down and i still have too much fuel out of the sight plug. Im pretty much leaning towards that the floats are bent a bit that wont let me get my...
