Help! All right bank plugs (2,4,6,8) are fuel fouling on a newly built 273 Commando Formula S, have a black soot. Left side plugs are clean. Besides running in the driveway, I've only run the car up and down the street a few times. It idles rough. Solid lifter cam is just a bump bigger than...

After a year and a half, I finally got this new 273 to run today. The last eight weeks, it has been one issue after another, but finally after sorting out the ignition and resetting the inside of the Carter carb, she ran!!! I had to shut it off after five minutes into the break-in. I have two...

Well, finally after weeks of fussing with the ignition and pre-lubing the motor, I finally got this 273 to start up. It sounded good! A couple of days before the epic moment, I pulled the valve covers and could smell gas in the oil. When the engine finally started, I ran it only for five...
