    New engine just won’t run right

    I haven’t checked vacuum yet but I will. When the timing is advanced to 14 degrees it runs stronger but has run on when it’s shut off. I’m running 93 octane always and the fuel filter looks clear. The only part that isn’t new is the fuel pump. Everything else is new.

    Issues with new engine

    It’s an edelbrock carb. I’ve tried tuning it myself ( like the instructions say) I’ve also had two machanics try as well. I haven’t tested the vacuum yet but I’ll try that next. It runs better with the timing advanced more but then it has run on so I backed it down. I had e3 plugs in it but...

    Rocker issue

    It looks like I'll have to pull the intake off and dig into it. After turning the motor over the new pushrod never contacts the rocker. It does move up and down but it's dropped too far down. I'm hoping it's the lifter and not the cam but I doubt it.

    Rocker issue

    Well now it seems to be more than what I thought. The new pushrod drops too far down. I must have a lifter and or cam issue as well. If it has a bad lifter any chance you think the cam would be okay? Thanks

    Rocker issue

    i have an 85 gmc with a 305. Engine started knocking yesterday and shut off. I took the valve cover off and saw that one of the rockers was lose and off of the valve. I pulled the push rod and noticed it was worn down also. The rocker next to the lose one is very lose also but all others seem...

    Tuning issues

    I have an 85 gmc with a 305. The two issues I'm having with it are, it doesn't idle well always when the ac is on and, it runs a little when you turn it off like a diesel. I was wondering if anyone can help with these? Thanks
