Super tuning car runs good shooting for great

No power brakes

I have another set of header gaskets I could try. You're going too fast; that's a lotta work to just try. I'd wanna prove it first. Ok. Test is on the back burner

Vac can is disconnected.That is part of the response problem. tip-in will be much smoother if you reconnect it. I had it disconnected because I was scared of detonation. With all the problems I'm having I figured it could wait. Although I did hook it up and couldn't get it to move with ported vacuum. It maxed out around 45-46 when hooked up to manifold vacuum.

Will have to get back to you on the timing. 15 initial 32 all in.Very good

Carb is a holley 750 street hp.4 corner idle screws. All just over 1/2 turn out. My combo with the 223/230/110 cam,very similar to yours,right? did not require any idle air bypass with 14* of idle timing, and consequently no idle-fuel in the secondaries.
A half turn on the front mixture screws means the T-port sync is pretty close.
I think your automatic could run a bit more idle-timing and that might/should help with the tip-in response. Unless it fudges the T-port sync too much.
Have you already tried it with;say 16 to 18* of idle timing, the secondaries closed up tight, the front screws at 3/4 to 1 turn out,and the Vcan hooked up? If yes, how was that? If no, that's what I would work towards and see if the tip-in improves. Then I would try to bring the PV in a little sooner. And finally I would work on the pump-shot.
Where does your TC stall at?
Idle air bypass? is this pcv valve or drilling holes in the throttle blades? i could try it at 17 and 34. so if I close up the secondaries the rear adjusters would do nothing correct?
all good info that I will try out. My main concern though is the terrible noise hahahaha.
just installed a factory high stall that stalls around 2400.
I would agree with the rich.In the long-run, not so good rear squarter is leaking (fuel coming from bottom of squirter). checked the accelerator pumps before work. (primary was too tight rear is leaking)


No windage tray, Kevko 5qt pan, OK

Trans dipstick is tight (locking). No, I meant the tube;is it secured to the block at one of the bellhouse bolts, so it cannot rattle? yes it is bolted tightly to the block
