Just as slow as before my mods..

basically a 340 cam and a question mark on the bottom end.

but to your point, should still be 145-ish across

i'm still thinking that getting the carb and timing dialed in might wake this sucker up. but given the rest of the chicanery i'd leave nothing to chance and verify everything. oh and the whole WOT test and trans kickdown needs handled.

i dunno, maybe he thinks it should put his eyeballs into the back of his head when the loud pedal goes down? it's only a 318 with a 340 cam and 3.70's so not like it's gonna yank the tires, but it should still be good for a pair of black stripes.

Ok, the carb is actually a 650 CFM. I corrected that at the sale post.

I tried taking the plugs out. No can do. They put them in too tight. I was afraid of breaking one. I tried loosing plugs 1-6, gave up.

So, carb and timing is still on the list. I've seen two good videos on this particular AVS2 carb. Lots of different tuning from front screw adjustments, to pump adjustment, to secondary spring adjustment.

I know its been said to death, and everyone has given advice as to changing the throttle cabling setup or adjusting it. Can we start there...again?
