I always enjoy squirrel's input....
My 454 at 700 RPM has 16/17 inches of vacuum at the modulator valve with the line going directly into the intake manifold, is this enough to...
Where is the governor screen??
I'd have to recheck to be sure on vacuum but stock cam only
It currently shifts at about 60 to 62 MPR and if you are on a 55 MPH road it's a constant back and forth unless you're holding below 60 MPH then...
Yes and I believe the vacuum was about 12 to 14 as I recall checking it earlier. The line is directly to the manifold not the carb.
The turbo 400 in question is fresh rebuilt and installed behind a 454 in my custom COE truck. My complaint is the 2 to 3 gear shift points. This...
spring is new and no slack in components, not possible to rotate 360 deg, too tight. Don't know if spring end can be rebent, kanda doubt it....
spring has been replaced along with other components, you mentioned preload is there another way besides rotating spring 360 deg?
My 1939 GMC COE drivers window continuous to drop down a few inches even though I have replaced the spring. Is there any adjusting to increase...
October is near and Mississippi Gulf Coast is set for the biggest " Cruising The Coast " event ever. Hot rods by the thousands, all are...
Thanks I can make it happen, the 1 x 1 x 1/8 sounds about right
There are no numbers or name on my mini but it looks identical to the Ultima ?? version. It does have a 3/16 stud for attaching a brace. The bolts...
Yes the shop reused the factory bolts by adding flatwashers under the head. It is not uncommon to have a hunk break out of the block when bolt...
Has anyone ever fabricated a brace for the mini starter on a 454, if so give me an idea please of what works. I know how the general consistence...
It needs more fuel in power mode, probably snaps back through the carbs on occasions because it's lean. I'm having the same problem on my bb...
When and if you dissemble the flathead have the block around the valve area checked for cracks. Back in the days of flathead popularity antifreeze...
Center of the Galixie member hit the answer on his post I believe. In addition I discovered that the pump chamber in really bored in a slight...
yes
That has to be the way it works even though there in no head pressure on the fuel encouraging it to flow past the pump rubber.
Thanks, yes my engine when dumping the pedal will hesitate slightly and many times will back fire [hard] through the carb, this indicated a lean...
Yes have it now in the top hole [of the three]. As stated the squirts are there but not strong and of long duration. Some fuel is getting below...
I have a Edelbrock 1405 Performer carb that has a less than strong accelerator pump discharge. This is a fairly new unit. Upon examining the carb...
Had an interesting conversation with a tech rep from K&N Filters today. As you may know they produce the high quality flame arrester filters for...
A halon system would be the best protection no doubt.
I know the carb backfire is remote but as things age anything is possible so in abundance of caution, under my conditions, any additional...
As you know the engine in a COE is enclosed in an inaccessible engine space under the passenger seat. I have long been concerned with engine...
I do at times smell gas, thats a concern.
Basically there is no sufficient difference between the two just that they all evaporate at different rates based on temp ect
I have a 1300 cfm pusher fan in front of the stock fan that comes on when temp goes over 195 deg but is off when engine stops.
