Transfer/Transition slot adjustment
Danng, once again, FABO folks provide.
@Mattax I can't thank you enough for taking the time to help a guy out.
The engine is out of a 98 Durango. We converted it to carburetor and HEI ignition. We also swapped the timing cover for an LA and are running a small electric fuel pump. The cam has not been changed from stock so it's completely wrong for the application now.
We're running everything through 273 exhaust manifolds, in front of a stock 904 and an unknown factory lockup TC.
For good measure, we replaced the oil pump when we replaced the pan.
Running a holley 600 (4160) w/vac secondaries. The "typical" setup on top of an air gap clone.
Oil pressure at start is around 60, then settles to around 25-27 when warmed up. We're considering bumping to 10-40 or even 15-40 since we're in south TX and it doesn't really get cold here.
Engine lights up on the first turn.
One thing we notice is a change in engine rpm (increase slightly) when the fuel pump is running, which as I think about it now seems to indicate it's pushing fuel passed the needle valves, but there isn't any fuel spilling out the vent tubes so I'm not sure.
