Brought Dart to shop to fix idling issue and car runs like s**t!

A reputable shop went through the new heads. Do you know if they checked valve stem to valve guide clearance? Seems to me that was a known clearance problem on some Eddy heads. (Too tight)

Also, nothing mentioned yet about correct pushrod length. A lot of things were changed affecting valvetrain geometry since it last was running right

Seems there are a lot of possibilities here and every one will have to be methodically checked and crossed off the list.


If the timing curve and carb are correct it idle at 700 RPM all day long.

What do you have for an ignition and what the timing?? Certain ignitions will die if you pull the wire off the plug and die right quick.
