That's good to know. I know the tune is not right because it seems to load up...plugs 2 and 6 were pretty fowled for sure and I believe 5 if I remember right. I did switch wheels and am now running 255/60-15 non sticky. Noticed at 60 I'm now running 2500rpm.
OK....did the compression test today on a warm engine, spark and fuel supply disconnected and here are the results. The first number is at 4 cranks and the second is with 3 additional, so 7 cranks.....
1- 143 150
2- 150 165
3- 147 150
4- 149 152
5- 150 165
6- 137 150
7- 145...
Any recommendations for shorty headers for the Edelbrock RPM Performer 60179 heads? I have these on my '72 340, 4spd. Currently have full headers but not sure what kind they are. (Bought car last year) I don't like how low they hang and it's difficult to miss road kill around here.
Thanks...
Yeah joking on the selling thing. I have very little experience so all the information made my head hurt trying to figure out what it all meant lol One minute I thought something was seriously wrong, next it was like motor could be just fine, more drive train cuz it's a pretty tall sticky...
Thanks for all of the good information. I will start with a compression test. It is the original transmission so I'm sure it's not an overdrive. The tires are 275/60x15 and it is a '72 block 340. It is an H code so not a slanty.
Thanks for all of that information! I wish I had all the answers but I did not build it and could not get the cam specs from the guy I bought it from.
Yes, 550 HP was out of a hat. Not going to be a race car for sure, just a few shows but more cruising. I want to go to an automatic because...
