Hey guys, I need some help. I've got a newly rebuilt 383 in my car. It starts and idles just fine. The issue is this, when I put the car in gear it dies. There are no weird noises or anything. It just dies. Any suggestions?
You sure give enough info to make a guess.....not. More info please, what was replaced, how fast does it idle, is it injected, more boy, more.
Vacuum leak? Over fueling? Under fueling? High rpm Low rpm Misfiring Advanced timing Retarted Mechanical issue Tune up Old engine coming to life New engine braking in Air conditioning Carburated Fuel injection Old gas Manual trans Auto trans Converter stall Some thing mechanical binding Valves adjusted right Base timing What kind of distributor is in it Tuna sandwich? Sorry my friend, need a bit more info before we fire up the cannon !! My first guess would be tune up or vacuum leak but that’s not only a shot in the dark it’s a shot in the dark with an unloaded gun!
383 is that a stoker sbc or a big block Chrysler. What torque converter are you using and what transmisson. How big is your cam. Does it have a carb,fuel injection, or a blower.
If you give it a little gas, when putting into gear, does it still die? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G930A using The H.A.M.B. mobile app
