Carb issue?
Oh boy, the plot thickens :(
Ok , I'm not ready to ditch the 7177 yet. the bypass air will make it idle and you,I assume, haven't even driven yet, right?
But we have a different problem we need to address first.
IIRC you said your compression test results were 155 psi/all; but
the Wallace predicted just 100psi at 6900ft at Ica of 81* which is the 7177 cam (specs of 308/318/110advertised, 234/
[email protected]) in at 5* advanced. See this;
Static compression ratio of
10:1.
Ica of 81* @6900ft
Effective stroke is 2.64 inches.
Your dynamic compression ratio is 6.94:1 .
Your dynamic cranking pressure is
100.49 PSI.
V/P (Volume to Pressure Index) is
82
This is too much discrepancy to ignore!
I hate to say this, but something is outta whack, the Wallace has never been this far off base; so either I am inputting erroneous data as concerns the Ica or the Scr or the altitude
OR
your tester is rather optimistic. We are gonna have to reconcile this before talking about camswaps
AND
if the Wallace is right, then YOU are in trouble. But if your tester is right, then I am in trouble.
So lemmee ask you to supply your advertised cam specs, and
your actual elevation,and
your actual measurements as used to calculate your compression ratio. And maybe we can get to the bottom of this.
As to these numbers,in my memory , I have;
total chamber size of; 65head+23dish+6.8gasket+ 0deck= 94.8cc
and swept of 840.26cc, so Scr is
(840.26+94.8)/94.8=9.76
Lessee what you come up with.
I'm really interested in the actual elevation where the compression test was done
EDIT;
with 63cc heads, it comes to 10.05
But if you are gonna ditch the 7177, with this really low pressure (100psi), then you need to go straight to a SOLID-lifter cam, with a tight lash, fast ramp design, to compensate for that.
