    Power lagging

    Okay, yea it could just be the carb I'll give it some time. But I'll check compression still

    Power lagging

    I will try a compression check and I'll check all the plugs, I just don't get how driving feels normal with no problems but my vacuum level was low

    Power lagging

    I drove it today and I wasn't having any problems with power or any kind of turning. My vacuum read low last night and I don't know why, but driving today felt really normal

    Power lagging

    I am at 12 * BTDC, and my vacuum reading is steady it's not fluctuating or anything maybe just a flickering. I just thought I would be getting around a 20 for my reading, but I was getting 10-12 on the gauge

    Power lagging

    First of all I would like to thank all of you for your help. I checked to see if I was getting the correct amount of fuel, and I was, I also checked all the fuel lines and they looked all good. I didn't disassemble the carb yet but I might in the soon future. So I needed to advance the timing...

    Power lagging

    I'm gonna check the fuel pressure and I'm also going to advance the timing and look for any other problems like vacuum and such.

    Power lagging

    Okay I'll try that, was trying to find if the cam wanted a specific timing in the instructions, I must if missed it

    Power lagging

    Both of the vacuum ports are plugged and my timing is set for 4 degrees advanced. I will have to check if the fuel pump is sending fuel, like it works sometimes and than it doesn't work sometimes. So I don't know if it's the fuel pump, it is a mechanical fuel pump if you guys were wondering

    Power lagging

    Yea, I can't tell if my fuel pump is acting up or what, I don't think any sort of vacuum leak could cause this problem, but than again I don't know

    Power lagging

    Okay, my apologies everybody. I did do the preload of the lifters, I don't know what I was thinking. I made sure there was zero lash and than I did a half turn. So I did do the preload of the lifter.

    Power lagging

    Yes I did do the cam break in, and okay I'll do the preload, I was doing what my dad told me and I guess he forgot that part, thanks for your help guess

    Power lagging

    I'm pretty sure my lifters and flat tappet and not hydraulic so I don't think I had to pre load them
  15. B

    Power lagging

    Yea I made sure the ca.m gear and crank gear dots lined up. I didn't preload the lifters, I didn't think I needed to do that. The intake and the carb should match their both Holley brand, and the bore matches and everything. All the linkage is fine and the gaskets are good. I have a 625 c.f.m...

    It began when I put it on

    Power lagging

    Okay so, I have a brand new carb and a new aftermarket intake and a 260h comp cam. My power as I'm driving is really bad. Sometimes it performs pretty good but up a hill or when I make a turn it feels like I'm losing fuel. I stalled when I took my foot off the gas just after I went up a hill and...

    Gas pedal/full throttle

    Yes, I did change the bracket, I'll hands to check if it's adjustable

    Gas pedal/full throttle

    When you say linkage are you talking and the throttle cable? Cause my gas pedal without the cable has full range of motion, but than I put the cable on and it's tighter obviously but as it gets closer to the floor it gets a lot harder to push it

    Gas pedal/full throttle

    Okay so I pulled my engine and built it up some. I out a brand new demon 625 cfm carb on. Now when I'm driving my gas pedal is really tight and when I floor it it doesn't even do anything. I'm really trying to figure it out but I don't know what it is

    4 bolt main

    Okay thanks
  22. B

    4 bolt main

    So I pulled my 78 350 with a 4 bolt main, now I'm looking at the toque specs online, and all of the specs are saying 7/16 for the outer and inner main caps. But the heads of my bolts are 5/8? Is the 7/16 the shaft size of the bolt? I'm kinda confused. Thanks.

    Taking engine out

    Okay, thanks everybody, I'm gonna have to think about how I'm going to do this

    Taking engine out

    I'm going to have a engine lift, and 3 people, I have Jack stands and other jacks too, so I'm not worried about the amount of people. I'd rather not disconnect the engine and trans though

    Taking engine out

    I want to completely undercoat my frame and I'm swapping my cam and replacing my gaskets in my engine
