I just got my car back together from the power steering box nightmare and now i'm ready to tackle the next problem with my car. It is running incredibly rich. I pulled the plugs while sealing the header and found that in less than 10 miles the spark plugs were dark black and on their way to being completely fouled and of course the car feels rather gutless along with a stumble any time you get on the gas
Setup:
Magnum 360 w/ iron ram 1.90 heads, custom ground cam(i can dig up the specs if need be), crosswinds air-gap knockoff intake, hedman headers, and edelbrock 1406 carb.
Fueling is done by a Summit electric pump w/ a 5.5psi deadhead regulator. Though i made the mistake of running without a regulator at 7psi when i first got the car together. Is 7 psi enough to damage something in my carb?
Timing is 16/18 intial, 34/36 total(blanking on where i set the initial, but its one of those)
The carb is what came with my car when i bought it so i have no clue on its overall condition or if its even been tuned/rebuilt.
So where do i start??
