Prayers to Leanna and the family.

Happy Thanksgiving folks!

Good morning folks, quick drive through to say thanks to @dukeboy440 @Ddaddy and @71GSSDemon for tagging me in that post. It’s not really a scam but there is some misinformation. It doesn’t seem to be a for sale ad, but it’s not a 73, it’s a 71. I love how this crew keeps an eye out for each...

Had a Ranchero back in the day with a hellacious drone, H pipe solved that.

Definitely on the list. I enjoy the cruise into the city. Hitting SFOB and seeing the looks on folks faces in town when this freak rolls through is priceless!

I’ve been itching to check this out. Doesn’t look like it’s in the cards for me this year though.

Bummed, he was a wealth of information. He will be missed. RIP

FWIW: I just bought and am in the process of installing an A&A manual valve body and billet reverse servo kit. Per their instructions they say to remove the accumulator spring. No big deal for me as mine didn’t have the accumulator spring to begin with. But the instructions make no mention of...

I wish you well in this endeavor! :thumbsup:

I went to our club’s Cars and Coffee deal this morning. Light turn out but good times with good folks. Car just runs so good right now. Not going to monkey with anything other than maybe some small linkage improvements. The AFR? Well I think I got that figured out too. At least for now...

I’m in a Love/Hate relationship with my AFR gauge! So I pretty much agree with Tommy, if you are happy with how it runs and drives, then maybe just be happy! If it’s not pinging, smoking, bogging, stumbling or stinking…then be happy. As for the plugs, if those plugs have been in the car a...

Center hung

They’re 4150’s so they’re mounted sideways. There is no fuel coming out of the vents as I’ve run it without air cleaners during some of the runs and no sign of that. Fuel pressure is 5.5 so that’s probably not an issue. I’ll level the car out and see where the floats sit.

Another little thing I’ve noticed. On some left hand turns it has a slight stumble as I accelerate out of the turn. My thought is that the jets are uncovered as the fuel is pushed away from the jets in the turn. My initial reaction was to put jet extensions and notched floats in the primary...

I wonder if a cheap boat bilge pump might be a better option.

Ok, not going to go through the 4 tunes I’ve been working through the last week or so, but here’s the latest. .032 IFR .067 IAB 56/66 mains .026 MAB 8.5 PV .033 PVR .024/blocked/.024 Emulsion Running really well. The AFR’s are fairly steady to 40mph (14-14.5) At about 45-50 or so she’s...

I’ll take care of that in the morning. Thanks for the input.

After reviewing video. Idle still in the 12’s 40 mph 14.5 afr 45 mph 14.2-14.5 afr 65 mph 14.5-15 afr 78 mph 13-14 afr not consistent Moderate acceleration w/PV open 11-12 afr WOT 13 Again it feels strong under acceleration but everything else……meh

Ok last update of the day, too hot in garage to enjoy going any further. I went ahead and put the 57 jets in. I also put the .070 IAB’s back in. Idle just seemed a little “muddy” if that makes sense. Grabbed my notebook and went back out. Only one problem, I left my pen on the bench...

Update: Went ahead and swapped the primary mains from 55 to 60 and here are the results. About the same until 40mph where she started trending the polar opposite direction from before. Also shows fat 12afr under light acceleration above 11” of vacuum, before the PV opens. When the PV opens she...

Haven’t tried anything yet, just asking questions.

Ok @Newbomb Turk ,I’m thinking out loud here. Suppose a guy was to take the swing and put .026 MAB’s in his carbs. And he jetted down say 4 numbers. And suppose he decided to decrease his emulsion down to say one .024 bleed. Where would you suggest he start? Above, at, or below float level...

Thanks for the input, you could probably smell the gear oil burning in my head from thinking and rethinking this notion! LOL

To throw a little more of a twist in the situation. I’ve brought up the stance of the car. I have a 4.2* rearward slant on the carbs on a level surface. (Pic 1) Giving me an approximate fuel level somewhere in this (pic 2) area. Will the difference in fuel levels on each emulsion stack create...

Yes, but I have not measured them

Not going to lie, this is going to take me a bit to comprehend!

To be honest, I don’t have a place close by I can really run that type of test. No tracks close by and the closest doesn’t have a test and tune time that I’m able to attend at this point. Next time I make a wot run I’ll see if I can scout out a decent location to do it.

Ok, this tune seems to have broadened the lean area. The previous tune had .035 MAB’s and .070 IAB’s Still had a lean area but it seemed smaller, like 45-50 mph, maybe as high as 55mph. My initial thought was to go back to the .035’s and maybe upping the IAB’s to say .072 and see if that might...

@TT5.9mag in your experience, do the OTB Stealth heads have a more efficient combustion than stock 915 heads? Will they tolerate more timing than the iron heads?

emulsion is a 3 hole stack with the middles blocked and the top and bottom.028 A side note: I did find an exhaust leak on the drivers side. Opposite side of the O2. That seems like that may have taken care of the “pop” I was hearing. But it still doesn’t sound right in those higher AFR readings.
