thanks.... DAVE,
I HAVE ADVANCED MY TIMING BY EAR.... NEW WIRES,PLUGS, ETC... SHES BACKFIRING
AT 3600 RPM AND WON'T TACH UP OVER 4400 IN NEUTRAL WITH NO DRIVETRAIN LOAD.
SEEMS TOO LOW TO ME...
I HAVE A NEW REBUILT CARD FROM BRITISH MASTERS, SINGLE BARREL STROMBERG.
IS IT POSSIBLE MY ELECTRIC FUEL PUMP IS NOT KEEPING UP TO THE DEMAND FOR
FUEL???
I LIKE THE REAR END GEAR SWAP IDEA, THANKS..
ANOTHER PROB THATS DRIVING ME A LITTLE NUTS, I MACHINED OFF A COUPLE THOU
FROM MY OIL PUMP FACE. MY PRESSUE IS ABOUT 85 PSI NOW, AND TACHED OUT WHILE
AT RUNNING TEMP, ABOUT 65 PSI. I AM BLOWING OIL OUT THE DARN DIP STICK HOLE.
IT FLYS OUT ONTO THE HEADER COLLECTOR MAKING A NICE SMOKE SHOW...
I HAVE BEEN GETTING 21 MPG TOO... I SAW SOME WHITE/GRAY IN THE EXHAUST,
THOUGHT IT WAS TOO RICH WITH THE LOUSEY MILEAGE, I LEANED IT TWO FULL TURNS,
THE WHITE GREAY IS GONE AND MY OPERATING TEMP MOVED A LITTLE HIGHER... STILL
BELOW CENTER POSITION ON THE GAUGE BY 3/8 OF AN INCH... IT HAD BEEN RUNNING
A BIT COOLER.
ANY INPUT WOULD BE GREATLY APPRECIATED...
DON
