The motor has ran great, just had some smoke here and there and some consumption. It does not even have 1000 miles on it. I drove again yesterday for another 50 miles and drove it hard. She is running great! Hell i think there should be a infomercial for Bonami.

I feel i was to gentle during the break in procedure, i used Sealed power standard gap plasma-moly kit. #R9903.:-({|=

I plan on going on a nice long drive today, the motor only has about 900 miles on it.

I took a 1/4 teaspoon and with the throttle held at 2000 i slowly sprinkled into the carb. Closed the hood and drove it like i stole it for a half hour. It has never not smoked since rebuilding, now its fabulous!:happy1:

Well as a last ditch effort i figured why not, and i havae done some research on other peoples results and found quite a bit of positive.

Well another success story with Bonami, not even a 1/4 teaspoon down the carburetor and oil consumption and slight smoking gone! What a great way to solve the problem. I have doubted this in the past but figured what the heck, gave it a shot and worked wonderful. Thanks Bonami!:cheers:

Hello Rick, the list # off the air horn are as follows 80457-9 0532 Don't know if the bottom one means anything.

Hey Rick, i didnt get a chance to get back out to the shop last night, helping thhe kiddo with science fair project. Anyhow, i will get the numbers off the air horn around noonish and post. Thanks again.

The vacuum at idle in drive is right at 12, i went from a 6.5pv to a 8.5. Yes i think after work today i will try and tinker with a heavier secondary spring.

Yes Rick, my vacuum is at 12-12.5 at idle, in drive. It does feel more balanced out on a 1/3 throttle take off now with the 8.5 power valve. Is this a typical result? Also could I go fatter on the jetting you think? And finally, I have looked at purchasing the metering plate adapter for the...

Rick i went with your thoughts on this, i had a 6.5 pv in which according to the vaccum method is correct. However when the secondaries came in it was way..way.. to noticable, like something was missing before hand. I installed a 8.5 and put my primarys from a 67 back to a 68 and wow! What a...

Not really a problem, just trying to better things. Like it seems to me even with the lightest spring for the secondaries they still open a bit late, like 3,300 to 3,500, i would like to be a little earlier. Also should i need to change the metering plates accordingly to primary jet changes. The...

Hello, so i am trying to get my new carb dialed in, i have went from 65 primary jets to 67, I have also put the quick change cover for the secondary springs on. Holley says you should not have a "seat of the pants feeling" when the secondaries open, and by god thats what i have. I also am...

Man I am in the same boat, my filter is at a 45 though, 360 motor, melling pump, same symptoms as you.

This is a car that sat for a....long time. On the lighting side of things i have been able to fix all but the turn signals. Have not worked since i hooked up the battery.
