    Aces Killshot EFI

    Looking to EFI swap my truck, currently running a Edelbrock 1406 and wanting a bit more power out of my engine so thinking of EFI swapping it, I've seen the Holley sniper kit but I'm leaning more towards the Aces Killshot kit due to price and looks like a better deal, if you have ran a Killshot...

    Fuel Starvation when warm at high throttle

    I'm currently having issues with fuel starvation. At first, I assumed vapor lock because my metal line was touching the block. I replaced the line with rubber temporarily and still had the issue. I replaced the pump because It seemed like it wasn't consistently spraying fuel. The issue persists...

    Edelbrock 1405 carb running rich

    I have a 1978 Chevrolet K10 with what appears a bone stock 350. It originally has a quadrajet carb that severely needed rebuilt. I bought the truck non running with the carb sitting inside the truck so it might have not even been original. I had to set the timing to tdc because it wouldn’t run...

    Best Carbs for Cammed 350

    Recently engine swapped my 85 C10, took out the stock 305 and put in a rebuilt 350 block with a massive cam and high compression pistons. Of course, my stock quadrajet off the 305 is too small now that she's pushing 300+hp (may seem small to some people on here but I'm excited!). Looking to...

    Get That Snappy Fire Up

    Gents, i have i an 82 gmc 1500 350 w/ edelbrock 1406 that i have recently put heavier metering spring in and larger rods. this smoothed out the stumble my pickup had when you punched the throttle but, it did not solve my starting issue. When the engine is cold, i can set the choke/high idle and...

    Engine cuts off when I press on the gas pedal

    I have a 78 k10 with a 350. For some reason, when I press on the gas, the engine cuts out. Is this caused by the fuel/air ratio, the choke, or something else?
