New engine gremlins - frustrating
New engine is in but some gremlins:
MRL 360 Crusier. See Dyno sheet
1973 Dodge Dart Sport 340 - H code
Per my engine builder Mike (MRL)
Cam specs: 284/228 .480 lift 112* LSA 108*
Running stock 340 exhaust manifolds, want the stock look for now. Headers later possibly.
There is a slight flat sport low speed idle carb backfire that occasionally occurs.
The carb is a Summit 750VS. Upgraded the carb accelerator squirters via the Summit carb tuning kit from .035 stock to next size .37 didn't seem to mae a difference. Assuming to go increase to the .040 or .42. Timing good. FBO ignition from MRL with stock recurved distributor
During install called Turbo Action and spoke to Paul for a recommendation on a new torquw converter based on my specs and during style. Weekend cruiser and race 1-2 the season at the strip. I don't know the p/n as the installer still has the paper work and the car.
It is an 11" TC with 2500 stall. I need to call Paul, but I am assuming it's a 17801 S800, but the installer has the box/paperwork.
Seems to not have as much low end power from a stand still. Stock 340/727 trans would spin the tires 235/60 R14, seems to have good power once moving 20+ mph
Everything installed, couple of test drives and the heater core now leaking, so that will come out.
Any advice to cure these last issues, much appreciated.
Thanks,
Eric
