I've run an AEM-0300 on my 1972 Scamp, with a LA360, for years now. I have found it invaluable. My Scamp runs about as close to feeling like it has fuel injection as a carb can run. And my WOT is tuned perfect. I have all the dragstrip data from the previous owner. Between his best run, and...

Very interesting thread. I have 0 blocks. I want to build an engine, then drop it in my 72 Scamp. The idea is (was ... really) to build a big inch small block. At least that's what my idea was. I'm nearing the point of retiring. And when I do, building an engine is going to be one of the...

I'm going to have to admit, I'm not certain which bulkhead connector your talking about and exactly where it is. I'll check that too. I'm going to have to admit, that is possible.

I've been needing to tear into the cluster and replace all bulbs anyway, and make it look more purdy. I don't think about it much though because I try not to be driving it at night.

Will do posthaste, as soon as I get back from my trip this weekend (not in the Scamp).

Guys, I just had to replace a wire harness for my AFR gauge. Which was a simple task of, unplugging the old w/h from the AFR gauge, pulling it through the firewall grommet, disconnecting it at the sensor, and doing that in reverse with the new w/h. I did not disconnect anything else. When I...

Nice. Glad to have you on board. Looking forward to hearing about you working those few things out.

Way late to the party, but found this an interesting thread. I've been running Edelbrocks (1405, and now a 1905) on my LA360. The only problem I've ever had with it was vapor lock after I put headers on it. It started off with a 750 Edelbrock when I got the car, I forget the number, maybe a...

fishermen67 - In that one picture you can see how it was hanging over the primary side. Somewhat blocking the primaries. Like a choke. It had been in that position for a long time, due to me removing the entire assembly, and not looking at that piece inside. So I had tuned for that amount of...

I was asked several times to check WHAT? I never did? This thread started on Wednesday. This is Friday! I'm not sitting around at my house all day, I've got a job that requires long hours going at it. What was I supposed to find? Prior to Tuesday this piece was blocking airflow, but I had...

I FOUND THE PROBLEM! And, pictures. I went in this morning to re-jet based on my new found problem. And during the course of doing this I told myself I'm going to put that air cleaner assembly on piece-by-piece very carefully. I have a habit of removing the wingnut and lifting the whole air...

This advice is how the 3 Mile Island accident happened. They didn't believe or trust a gauge reading. I'm not able to be clear, that it went lean. It didn't go lean and misfire and fail to run. It just went lean. Leaner than where I had it tuned. Immediately upon this event. Had I not had...

I'll try to get some pictures tonight, if I can get to it before dark. YES! My ability to be clear is not great. Your comprehension is great. Yes. It did as you state. I can understand this totally. But mine did not exhibit this. It responded to the change in AFR. Sounds like my...

Electric chokes are for sissies! :p

I think "secs" must be an auto spell correct issue. If not, I'm not following it. That is a good question. I did check it, when I first saw it was overly rich at WOT. Thinking if the throttles opened all the way it would get more air. I found that the throttles WERE NOT opening all the way...

Yes, I do have a cable on it. And use the choke frequently. I make sure I get the cable set properly (no filter housing on at that time) when I have to pull the top of the carb off to swap main jets. But, putting the filter housing back on top after getting the cable back properly, maybe I...

The PCV valve and the breather (on top of the valve cover) looks the same as original equipment. Overall - It just plain ole seems like I must have had something put together wrong with the air cleaner and housing the last time I put it on. And I got it straight at this event. I say that...

Oh, and I will be replacing the pcv and the breather vent / filter due to this, before I tune. Although I think the tuning will be simple / easy / quick.

Where did the breather filter go ... now that is a good question. One I've been sweating over. If it got sucked down the carb, well, it didn't do anything detrimental. But because this lean event came on exactly after this event, my mind is stuck on 2 possibilities. 1. It fell out and down...

oldkimmer - My post was long enough. But yes, I took it back apart and paid close attention to it all, checked all hoses and placement, and put it back together meticulously. It remained lean. Nothing to fix. Tuning away the leanness is easy to do. And I will get to that later this week or...

Rat - Don't take this wrong. I say that because I have a way of sounding harsh, but it's not meant that way. I don't know what AFR gauges you've been looking at, but you're not seeing what I see. There's no way reading plugs can provide such continuous, instant, accurate info. My car's...

Yeah sorry. I tried to be clear, but I'm extra good at assuming everyone can understand what I mean to say. I just meant the top of the air filter housing. I didn't change anything on the carb. When I got home, I checked to make sure I didn't accidently pull the pcv hose off or the...

Guys - I'm confused about what just happened to my AFR. And looking for ideas of what might have happened. I went and met a guy. He wanted to see my Scamp, and the AVS2 carb. The car ran fine getting there, just cruised only. And a reminder, most don't know or remember. I run an AFR gauge...

I didn't mess with it yesterday. I'm still surprised about how small a secondary main jet I'm running is, and still rich at WOT. Not terribly, but I'm sure you guys know the feeling of not wanting to leave any hp on the table. Let's say some crusty ole 67 Moustang were to pull up next to me...

I'm running an AFR gauge. My tune is better than the stock one. The out of the box tune is ~20% richer at cruise and WOT than I'm currently running. I'm very close to the as shipped AFR in the Power Mode (which is too lean). If you could point out what your talking about with the adapter...

I don't believe there is any such mechanism on the 1905 (manual choke). My red highlighted hole seems about the same place as yours. So I went out and drove it. It does seem a bit faster, not as much as I exptected. But ... it is still on the rich side. It leaned out to around 11.5ish...

I did just that, only to come in here and read what you guys suggested. THANKS! Picture below shows what I did. I moved the linkage from where it is pictured to the highlighted red hole. It pulls the throttle wide open now. And when I let off, it goes right to the throttle adjust screw...

Guys, I'm going to *try* to keep this short, and stick to the topic, no venturing to tributaries. I finally installed my AVS2 (1905, manual choke) after having it on the shelf for a couple years. It has been nothing short of a PITA to tune. Finally I have got most of the issues sorted...

furrystump - My 12° initial is without vacuum advance (it was plugged). If I apply the vacuum advance (I run manifold vacuum not timed vacuum) at idle, it's up in the 20's (from my memory) like yours. It idles pretty good. After running this AFR gauge for a while, I have to believe that a lot...

Dredging this thread back up because it is a good one and right in line with my topic. So I finally broke down and bought my own timing gun, should have done it a couple years ago. But there's a lot of stuff I should have done years ago, I suppose you guys know the feeling. I went in and...
