Thanks for replying. thats what i thought when i talked to them also.

ok i was able to get a summit 750 vac secondary for now (borrowed). I called 4secondsflat.com and talked to them about my set up and got this for recomendations: Q series 650 mech secondary with airbleed modified they also recomend a vac Dizzy, said the pro-billet i have does not match my cam...

didnt have much time to work on car this weekend but i did get a compression test done. all cylinders are between 165# and 170#. And i got a line on another carb, should be able to do the swap on tuesday.

I am not looking to ask the same thing over and over until I hear what I want to. I posted here to see what combos people have done. My other thread is full of great suggestions on fixing my issues. And I didn't want to get that thread of track. Am I frustrated with the advice I got from someone...

im curious how people would set up a 1972 Duster. I would like to run 12's with street trim. what i have to work with now is a 383HP, compcams 280h cam, compcams 1.6 roller rockers holley 4160-4224 center squirter carb with #85 jet eddy performer dual plane 906 heads (new valves, springs...

the sequence of how im going to trouble shoot based off everones sugestions: 1. Check compression 2. Check Timing 3. Check carb tuning (i have to use the one i have for now) will also check if i am getting WOT as mentioned earlier. 4. take it to a dyno. when i have funds for it BTW. the cam was...

I got really tied up with work. I been checking back here and seeing what you all are posting. I really appreciate the info but can't do anything about it until tomorrow. Thanks again and keep the ideas coming!

i am using the pro-billet dizzy with black bushing and 1heavy-1light silver spring. the carb is a holley 4160-4224 660cfm center squirter, mech secondaries. it has been reworked and flows 952cfm with #85jet. when i read the plugs after the run i had 1 tread dry so it is a little rich, might step...

Thanks for all the replies and suggestions! Got me a lot to digest. I am not so worried about keeping the set up I have, the guy I bought the car from had it set to just cruise once in a while. If I have to change things its fine. I want to get it right the first time. What in seeing is I need...

It did feel a bit sluggish on the get go. I am going to fix the rear suspension and get the manual valve body next. I will get slicks set up for next spring. Any other ideas on what is off with this combo? I forgot, was running 87octane...last min track idea and had already filled up.

Not sure on the flash, I'll check tomorrow Using a Holley 4160 been reworked anb flows 952cfm with #85 jet Total Timing is 38 at 2500 using msd dizzy, 6al box

Took my 72 duster to the track for the first time, I was a bit disappointed to say the least. Mabey my expectations were to high, but I feel like my combo is off. Specs. 1972 duster 383 hp block 906 heads, bowl work and gasket match 1.6 roller rockers Comp cam 280h grind 3000 10inch turbo...

Got it running. It was actually incorrect valve adjusting. Just glad nothing got messed up. Guess I'll chalk that up to inexperience. Now I know what is meant by zero lash...thanks for all the help! Still have a few things to iron out but here is a video of it running...

A bit more information, I turned the crank to tdc. Saw where the rotor points and set #1 terminal there as a start point.

So I just finished installing a new cam and heads in my 383. I am having a he'll of a time getting the initial timing setup. It turn over and sounds like it wants to start, but nothing. I tried retarding and advance all that seems to do is backfire through the carb. I'm at a loss.
