Maybe just reverse the "eyes" on the spring.
A little high, basing my opinion on books written by Ol' Ron and JWL who are contributors here on the Barn. In JWL's book he has extensive dyno...
Have some serious doubts about a 286 at close to 200HP. Not questioning you but the dyno test.
Exactly 3! Just kidding, but will find out. The real difference: 29216 29219...
Just got off the phone with Mallory tech.; he says everything I did with the wiring is correct except I have the wrong coil! I have a 29219 when...
Just did
No points, it's electronic, 5.62 volts at the coil.
Wouldn't happen to know part# for Pertronix module and coil that will work with my Unilite would you? Appreciate your help.
This is embarrassing, I had removed the fuse for the fuel pump and then put fuse back in an empty slot in the panel!
Kingford, Flatjack & hotrodtom, you guys made me think of something I completely forgot! When the engine was on the stand I was using a coil that...
The reason I got this carb. was because I heard it was a "plug in & play" which makes this so frustrating, especially with my limited knowledge....
Filter and pump is near & below tank.
Nope, had the fuel pump just one less filter.
Electric at the tank, funny thing, the pump failed yesterday, am working on the problem now.
Been trying to think what has changed since it was running good on test stand versus in the car and the only thing I can come up with is I have a...
fuel is fresh
14° initial if memory is correct and 24° at 2500 RPM
Correct
I've got the 1486 kit and have changed jets to the smallest .083. This is setup #11 in the Edelbrock manual for the 1404 carb. like I have. This...
Called Edelbrock and can get smaller jets at any auto part store.
Jon, am told the Edelbrock 500 is really closer to to 425CFM. The plugs are sooty and am running the recommended 5.5 lbs. of pressure. Others on...
I've got ZDDP in the oil.
Yes, Richard told me how he re-calibrated his carb. and I did the same but didn't get success he did. He suggested maybe I should look for...
I have an Edelbrock calibration kit but doesn't have any jets smaller than .083.
I used a piston stop strap also and rotated crank in both directions and split the difference on the crank pulley, I don't think I could have...
Okay, slight improvement. Found TDC for #1 and sunk distributor post with rotor lining up on #1 plug wire in the cap, fired immediately. To get...
Dick, really confused now as to plug wire to cap location. Am trying to send Van Pelt plug wire diagram.
Won't run at all now after rotating 180°. Loud backfire.
Really like that idea, Clay. Thanks
Gimpy, I think maybe you got this right but I'm not laughing! I may be 180 degrees out.
