Restore it, Dont part it!
This is good info thank you!!
Remember, the perfectly tuned carbureted car on that 60* morning will not be perfectly tuned at 3 in the afternoon when the temp reaches that high of 85*.This is good info thank you!!
That is where setting a baseline comes in imo. Finding the perfect medium between the two. Because like Iv said i want a dependable drive something I can drive when its 30 or 90 rain or shine. Without worrying about overheating or whatever. Even if I give up 4 tenths on my et.Remember, the perfectly tuned carbureted car on that 60* morning will not be perfectly tuned at 3 in the afternoon when the temp reaches that high of 85*.
you may give up 4 tenths because you, as I have, chose a highway gear. Might even give up another 3 tenths from a good converter. However, don't give up any ET from the tune.That is where setting a baseline comes in imo. Finding the perfect medium between the two.

most would say no. It wouldn't be my carb of choice, but should run much harder than what was ran.Do you think a 600cfm carb is too small for this combo?
No and he found out the hard way.
Where are you located? I'm in the Concord area, you could always cruise by the shop and we could give her a little look over, be glad to help!I really want to try that 625 street demon.
I'm not too far from Concord around two hours. I really appreciate that. I will keep you in mind. I have been thinking about trying to get started a a little east coast fabo club that could join once or twice a year and hang out and cruise or whatever. There is quite a few of us within a couple hours drive of each other.Where are you located?

Same cam as the budget 318, 318wr!Tires are 215/65r15. Not sure of what the rpm was when it shifted. I let the car do the shifting. Im almost positive I didn't get to 3rd.

Same cam I have in my 318. Nice cam for your gears and engine. I'd be shifting it around 5200 rpm's for starter, and see how it likes it. If it's short shifting, say at 3800 rpm's, she'll roll over and die.Tires are 215/65r15. Not sure of what the rpm was when it shifted. I let the car do the shifting.

So carb adjustments are just kind of make an adjustment and test it out? Other than plugs are there any tell tell signs of lean or rich?
So basically you need to make these adjustments at the track?When jetting carb, watch mph on your slip, that indicates power, add jet one step at a time until mph falls off, back up to jetting where mph was highest; now go back and see if engine wants more timing. When tuning, only do 1 thing at a time, that way you can keep track of your results. Keep a note book, write everything down.

I was gonna say that but I dont support street racing lolThe track is helpful because you have feed back to what you are doing; you could do second gear time trials over a stretch of road, pick two spots, start/finish, gauge your progress. Track is also nice as you are not likely to get a speeding ticket.
Do you have a timing light? If not, I'd make that a priority.
Here is a short video I made on timing, and making marks to see total timing.
