Yes sadly it smokes worst then my cummins... Thats not a bad idea I'll see if I can tear it apart tomorrow I've already got it off the intake. Like I mentioned earlier my vacuum appears to be 6-7 psi at idle in park. As soon as I start giving it gas it starts to drop I'd say it is at 0 by...

Alright so apparently I was wrong about it idling good. I stood about 10ft behind the car while it was idling and my eyes were burning. So I turned the screws in alittle, roughly 1 turn out from snug on all 4 corners. Walked back and it seemed slightly better but still burned pretty bad when I...

Well I accomplished two things, 1 it must be idling off the idle circuit because when I got to the 2nd to last screw it died. It appears to me we aren’t running as rich anymore at least not enough to cause soot because I placed my hand near the exhaust (it was fairly warm, lol) but no soot nor...

Thanks yeah I’d have to take vacuum reading off the carb because the Indy intake doesn’t have anywhere to hook up. IFR location? I have decent filter I forget the micron rating though. So what should my next step be? Check the idle screws to confirm it’s running off the idle circuit. Get a...

Thanks for the response guys I want to at least turn the idle screws down and make sure it’s running off the idle circuit. I’ll test everything when I get off work later I’m not sure on the timing I’d have to double check it. My harmonic balancer is rusty/dirty so it’s hard to see but I wanna...

Thanks Paul_G, I’ll give it a shot. The A/F gauge/sensor is only 6 months old and when it goes to dashes I assumed it was too rich because as you can see if I give it gas it leans out and starts reading. It does not burn my eyes or smell that bad but the entire underside is covered in a thick...

Thanks guys, I don't know if you seen where I edited my last post below the pictures to include more info. I did square up the transfer slots. But in order to do that the I had to adjust the idle screw and now idle is low (was idling around 900-1k now its sitting at 500rpm). I did reset all 4...

Hey I appreciate the suggestions I haven’t had a chance to work on the car til today first thing I noticed is my butterfly are open a lot more than the picture above. (Transfer slots aren’t squared) Does that mean it’s idling off the primary? Okay I closed the transfer slots to small...

I appreciate it. I’ll bring the floats back up, Yes it soaks the plugs. I also forgot to mention I am getting fuel in the oil. I am hoping it’s due to it running so rich. I’ll have to double check the idle screws but I believe I have them set back to stock 1-1/8 turn out? I’d have to double...

ok I’m running out of ideas. I really don’t know my way around a carb especially one like my quickfuel 880 with 4 corner idle and stuff. So I’m hoping one of y’all can help guide me in the right direction otherwise only other option I can think of is taking it to the dyno shop and paying them...

Yeah they got robbed. That was a touchdown! They claimed the ball moved (which it did when he landed) but he passed the goal post so that should have been a touchdown.

I did play with the pump and could not come up with any positive leaks. Of course thats not to say my couple cycles are putting the same wear/pressure as 1000 cycles rapidly when its running... I decided to tear my carb apart to see if its to blame. I am thinking it could be the floats because...

all I can think of is because it's such a high power pump it might spray gas through the rubber seal?? I really am lost... only other thing we can think of is it's gotta be leaking through the intake into the heads??

Ok I took the pump off hoping that was the problem but once I pulled it off I can seem to figure out how it could really leak. Other than a small gasket around the push rod in the pump.

So I discovered today that my oil pan is full of gas in the 440 stroker. I haven't started the car in a while and for what its worth its not drive able it has about 10-15 minutes total of run time since I got it. It was not apparent in the beginning either as I kept an eye for anything odd the...

I got one for my car for safety and because NHRA rules require it. We had a truck at work, older gmc dually with a dump bed, that a co worker was driving and went across a train track where it popped out and tore up the whole rear of the truck (gas tank looked like someone took a can opener to...

If your question is, is the starter different. The answer is no. The starters fits even on big blocks.

I have a motor plate. AR Engineering profiled. I like the look of the plate. I've had to do a lot of grinding and mix and matching pieces to make mine work as I am also running power steering with a 3 core rad. Its real tight. I haven't driven the car yet. but just letting it idle and rev I...

Yeah it just didn't cross my mind. I'm going to take off Monday to go get it done. Hopefully there isn't any problems and I don't have to make multiple trips to get proper paper work...

I know this is random but does anyone happen to know if there is a deadline for getting your license after taking the skill test? I took my skills test last month and have not had a chance to get to the DMV before they close to get my license yet. My buddy today said I need to hurry up and get...
