360 LA getting oil in #3 cylinder.

Don't really know anything about inside of engine. I did run my new inspection camera down the #3 intake port and I could see intake gasket and/or face of head port sticking out slightly on 3 sides of the intake port so there is another issue. I'm guessing no on head porting. And I'm learning a lot about racing type parts on a street engine. It has an Edelbrock RPM/Airgap intake and a Holley 4779 750cfm mechanical secondary, double pumper. Also an MSD billet mechanical advance distributor. When I took the carb off, gas was standing in the ribs in the intake floor. So cold intake and big lopey cam creating less vacuum maybe not keeping gas vaporized. ???


Fuel atomization and vaporization is a big problem with todays fuel (blended for EFI) and cold air intakes.

I won’t do a cold air intake without a quality annular boosters any more.

As a general rule, that series of carbs were “universal” which means they universally fit nothing.

The idle circuit is so rich it’s crazy. Like most everything else they need T slot restricters.

They need some work but if you tune them they work well.
