    Holley 1920 problem

    Check the throttle shaft for play/vacuum leak. While its running at idle try to wiggle it and see if the idle changes. I have found this to be a problem on many 1920's

    Holley 1920 1 barrel tuning and adjusting

    I would recommend you run the valves if you havent already. Ive seen it make quite a difference in idle quality, especially if a po didnt do it correctly prior. You should also check for air leaks around the throttle shaft of that 1920. Good luck.

    phenolic vs wood carb spacer

    X2 to the above. I would stay away from the spacers/insulators that are stacked gaskets and aluminium plates. They can lead to cracked baseplates if you dont pay careful attention to your tightening sequence/torque.

    70 340 Swinger trunk lid badges

    What you need is a paper template from a member that has a trunk lid w/out the emblems on it. It would be much easier than trying to figure measurements. Hopefully someone will be along to help you out. Good luck

    Spun dampener

    Ive seen it on several GM motors. Most of the time it slips just enough to set the timing mark off. Balancers are one of those things that are often overlooked and taken for granted on a build. Definatly worth giving it a good cleaning and inspection for cracked elastomer or heavy seal area...

    8 inch converter questions...

    Just my 2 cents on going to a bigger/better cam (great idea by the way)...you may want to spend the money you have for the converter on porting those Eddys instead. That way you can really take advantage of the bigger cam...just something to consider. This is good advice from flyfish. You...

    360 Build for my wife Questions

    Allot of good sugestions. But there is nothing wrong with your original plan, especially if you are on a budget. If you want to step it up a little you could put in a 2000-2300 stall converter. That cam will have a little lope at idle and great throttle response. You can probably get away with...

    Is connecting rod bushings needed?

    Your machinest's reccomendation is fine. As mentioned ealier make sure there is plenty of lube on the pins for start up and use a good break in oil like Gibbs BR. Good luck on your build.

    First Engine Build

    If your not going to try to set the streets on fire, keep it basic and strong. If you want it to look stock but run a little harder there are plenty of mods you can do without giving it away. First locate a reputable machine shop to do the work. Its the little thigs that add up. You really wont...

    Erson cam

    You should not expect a simple answer to any question relating to cam choice on a forum. Usually you end up more confused than when you started. If you trust the guy enough to build your engine, you should have enough faith in him to choose a cam.There may be some variables he is aware of that...
