Wish I had an answer for you but haven't found one. As the buyer we should bring whatever needed for your state such as a blank bill of sale, and...
Ive got the Eastwood as well. No issues with 1/4 inch. Have used it on 1/2 and it went fine, but just for testing as I have no need that heavy...
Glad to know I am in good company. :)
great idea. just picked up one on amazon (the phone version for $20 bucks) .
Yeah. Def low odds given how dirty my driveway is. though I didn't hear any noise so figured if something had come out it came out in a straight...
Just a tale for fun bathroom reading :) was cruising along, close to home when I heard an intermittent clanging noise. Passenger side of the...
I got one. Father built the car in late 70's. Sitting on a 65 283. [ATTACH]
So, bunch of things done and it is much better, though still had one tiny backfire when it was cold. Cant pinpoint exactly what helped because did...
Guys thank you all for the info. No followup testing yet as I pulled the carbs off to check the passages and the PVs. Now for the PV to see if it...
Correct, just the carbs were rebuilt. I did the work. Checked as best I could, leaks at the PV, accelerator pump action, flow though all the...
The carb experiencing the backfire is over cylinder 5/7. Cylinder 3 is the offending low one. Makes sense about your points RE: ignition or...
If I could find a guy like that it would be great. There is a car show in my town this weekend, so was planning on attending.
Gotcha. Opening up the covers to adjust the valves is on the list, but hadn't thought of it in relation to this problem.
Cant speak to it other than I dont hear any noticeable clacking.
If this was ever rebuilt I am not aware
measured with a feeler, seem to be right based on the what the book stated. Have not done a dwell measurement.
Will do
Gotcha.
Advance is attached to the intake manifold. The two rear carbs on the motor have vacuum ports (These are ported vacuum? Currently have plugs in...
Sure, thanks for asking. I did note that I am new to all this ;) Compression was in the 130s in the 7. (all well within 10% which I understand is...
its a Digital light, and has the ability to set (not sure what this is called) the timing reading (i.e. input the advance on the gun to 34 for...
Will have to check my notes, but if I remember it was adding 12-14. Engine was warmed up. Have only been taking it around the block as its all in...
Timing was verified with piston stop tool. Marks were accurate, halfway between the stops. Compression was good in 7 of 8 cylinders. One was a...
It is an Offy
OK, so having a bear trying to get the SBC running smooth. Thought I had it, but alas seems to change its mind if I look at it funny. Now getting...
220 is obviously better for thicker material. however, if there only a rare occasion you need to go thicker there are several techniques that...
Thanks guys, just to update. Got all four carbs synced up this weekend, and its running great. Carbs were rebuilt, I had changed the PV to a 2.5...
Thanks! That's a procedure I can wrap my head around. I've got the Unisyn in hand as well so will layer that on. Do you Sync only after the above...
Idle speed, not the 2 idle mixture screws. I had each of the mixture screws out 1 1/2 turns out, on all 4 carbs. Not able to start the car....
Makes sense. Was just that when I had each of the throttles slightly cracked open (i.e. had the idle speed screw just nudging them open on all 4...
