Any help would be appreciated


I run single plane intakes on 99% of the motors I`ve built and the cars I build carbs for ESPECIALLY a stroker..............better distribution and consistent booster signal and easier to tune imo. Something is amiss here having tried different carbs w/the same results. You need to SEE your fuel pressure when it acts up to at least take that out of the equation and if you`re sucking that much oil the dilution percentage COULD cause it to detonate and lean out. Where are your float levels? I thought I read that you`ve been having ign. problems also so that can`t help matters..............
