    A/F/R gauge for tuning

    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...

    I counted my small block stash today.

    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...

    Electrical event...

    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.

    Electrical event...

    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).

    Electrical event...

    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...

    Need help with edelbrock 1406 carb

    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...

    Went lean...

    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...

    Went lean...

    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...

    Went lean...

    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...

    Went lean...

    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

    Went lean...

    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...
