trouble with engine running when put in gear
And the MANIFOLD vacuum? And TC flash stall? And rear gear ratio?
That cam is pretty big for an A/T, but more so for the cylinder pressure you are running.Im surprised that you got it to idle down to 700rpm. In fact I think that might be a little low. But if you are not having any idle tip-in or hesitation problems, it might be ok. I still think 24* should not be required, but perhaps with the lower cylinder pressure, there may be that requirement.The 24* is probably compensating for the low idle speed.
I would certainly try to tune it at 20*, with the idle speed higher, perhaps 750 to 800ish. I dont like to idle too slow with flat tappet cams and todays oils.
I've never run pressure that low.But I'm beginning to suspect the cam-timing is off.
But as an occasional cruiser, I suppose it will be ok, if your TC is at least 2800.
I wouldnt want to run it though, at that pressure. It would be much happier at 165psi, and at 185 it will come alive.
I think it was roccodart who said he thought the TC was too tight, and Id have to agree, pending stall report.
If you find this combo a little sluggish off the line, and doesnt really wake up until much further on down the line, I would reassess the combo, starting with the cylinder pressure.
"i dont know how to fix this,tim" Post 17. What is this referring to?
