ok i will try and get a gauge...will any of you guy be at the Dream cruise this weekend ? just wondering because i actually stay off of Woodward would be great if someone with experience could go over this stuff

Sorry about the delay guys, well I set the timing in neutral at 15 degrees before. Now I'm messing with the carb , I noticed that when I drop it in gear it doesn't bog and cut completely but when I snap the throttle it cuts off

Hey guys.. it was out of gas LOL But after gas and a battery jump it was up and running I think there is TOO much advance because it still "kicks back" on start up If I read my timing light right the advance is like 45.4 And on top of it all it still stalls in gear

okay what i did first was unplug the vac advance line and blocked it off at the carb after i started the car i rotated the dist. to bump up the rpms, i ended up having to rotate the wires for the range i needed. SO after i rotated the Dist. right before the point the rpms fell off i locked it...

ok thank you ALL. i will check back with you all later tomorrow and tell you how it goes. Although im so excited about the new info im tempted to try now lol

okay so i should watch out for how much i advance it? oh and should i ever take a hex and change the advance? because i never did that even from day one i just adjusted the air gap and slapped it on

The carb gasket i have is the right one for the edelbrock, it was just the wrong one for the thermoquad and i dont have new plugs yet because i was planning to drive to the store with the car once it was running and then get the plugs lol :banghead: i know it ran well before with the same plugs...

i have no clue what my vacuum is at idle i don't have a gauge though i do have a advance timing light cracked back that second suggestion is so genius it just might work!!!! lol ok so that should take care of the idle And spitting problem?

ok so i should plug the ported vacuum port turn the distibutor until its +10 degrees? then start messing with the carb... soooooo i shouldnt touch the distributor when trying to get the idle right AND i want the idle to be anywhere from 750 to 800 ? :newb:

the rockers are stock even the one i replaced is stock, and what do you mean in time????

:blob: thanks for the reply!! let talk about idle...how do i get the correct idle speed? i got mine by rotating the distrubutor until its 0 advance.... i was always under the impression that 750-800 is high and any where from 500 to 650 was the sweet spot.:oops: lol i guess im not used to my...

oh and i forgot to mention that this is my first rebuild ever

the engine was just "rebuilt" less than 2 years ago by some screw ball mechanic,.....thats another story after this "rebuild" i noticed the car often stalled whenever i used the brake, i blamed the leaky brake booster, so in the meantime i just up the idle a tad to to keep me going a couple...

I don't think so, Im in michigan.

THANKS!!!! that's the exact info i needed... honestly i have to admit that the old 2bbl setup with multiple hoses running to the carb is confusing ....soo is the temp sensor gold? i think one came in the manifold

Hello im about to swap out my old 2 barrel intake a for a EB 2176 intake, i noticed all the plugged ports on the edelbrock intakes and was wondering exactly what sensors has to be swapped and which do not..... Im working with a LA 360
