Thanks wild and crazy! I will order one up right away... Do you happen to have a picture of one installed?

Yea? See I was jsut going to type that I think my problem is in the throttle cable. I'll get myself one of those brackets. I am assuming just look on jegs?

Ok so I tried to tighten the throttle cable a little more, but after some driving it seems to hang up , and keep the idle rpms from 750, to 1000-1200. Is this the linkage I need to bend?

Hey thanks for the quick replies guys! And your all on the same page so I will go look into it and report back! THanks Shane

Ok, So I think I have learned by now, to ask a question first. Before I go messing around and making something simple into something complicated. I have a mechanical secondary holley double pumper on my 340 and it is running great. Choke is set up good car starts and drives great. So today I...

K good, sounds simple enough. where did you get the new gasket from?

Thanks guys! Thats what it seems like to me.. Is it easy to get the filler tube off?

I just topped up my tank to nearly full with a gas can, and I noticed I have sprung a leak from where the filler tube goes into the tank. Anyone deal with this before? Any ideas on what to do? Do I need a new tank? Thanks, Shane

Hey all, I have a Holley DP, I am tired of screwing around with the manual choke that I thought would be fun...is it as simple as buying an electric choke from Holley, bolting it on the carb, setting it, and just turning the key ?? Thanks, Shane

When i start moving...then when I come to a complete stop it starts to work again... I will have a look around the take for the ground... thanks

So I am going for a nice drive today, and I check my factory fuel gage before I took off, and near three quarters of a tank.. I look at while driving, its at dead zero. I get home and when I stop in my drive way (car not moving at all) it starts to climb back up to near three quarters.. so I...

Thanks Mark! I think you just answered all my questions right there.... Shane

it is a 600 Double pumper, it runs good , but I keep thinking from time to time that I may have to tune it a bit... I will have a look at my plugs ..Havent done taht yet, and go from there.. Thanks! and my vaccum is 13-14...at 750rpm idle.. so I think I am alright there..

Hey again! Half of me is saying "dont touch anything", the other half is saying "maybe you can tweak a little more HP out of my set up" The car starts and runs great right now.. Its a date coded 70 340, with a purple cam, headmens, and a new(or was new a year ago) 600 DP holley, 4sp tranny...

very good points! i am goin to use up most of my tank, and go looking for a sunaco station(here in canada, they are the only ones to have 94) that uses up 94 regularly....very good point you said... I hope it does the trick THANKS! Shane

Oh i will try the dry gas stuff... this is the first I have heard of it... i am hoping thats all it is....nothing else has changed and the car never did this before being stored ... Thanks, Shane

Ah, I see... thanks guys... I will rebuild it with what it has, and if i need anything, I will get the edelbrock rods and jets for the 600-650... Again, thanks Shane!

i should have explained better...at first I missed my car so much, I would be out there firing it up and letting it run.. then the family came over at christmas, and they all checked it out, so its not completely full anymore... I will get out as much of the gas as i can, and fill it with...

what rod and jet kit should I order? thanks, Shane

thanks! i am interested to see the difference, if any in the carbs...

I stored my car for almost 4 months, with a full tank of 94 octance, and fuel stabalizer. I have a holley double pumper which ran great before I stored it. The weather is nice today, I jumped in the car, she fired right up. Then once it was warmed up and I turned the choke off, it would...

Thanks Rumblefish, So I should get an edelbrock rebuild kit? and a carter rod and jet kit? This carter will bolt up to the ld340 no problem?

So I was digging around boxes and milk crates of stuff that I got with my car, looking for a new E-brake handle that I knew I had seen in there.(the one on my car is busted) I found it, but also found this carb at the bottom of a milk crate... I am running a 600 cfm holley double pumer on a...

alright, I will try going up 2 degrees and see what the vaccum gage says... I am not sure of my total timing, but the timing light I bought does have a dial on it. Do I get the motor at 3000 rpm, and then turn that dial and see what it says when the timing mark is at 0? or the 10 btdc mark...

Thanks Fishy68, makes sense when you spell it out like that... I have my timing at 10 btdc, would it be possible to get a little more vaccum by fine tuning the timing abit? The car seems to run strong as it is, maybe i should just leave it as it is for now... thanks Shane

Hey All, I am glad to report that my car has been running strong lately and I enjoy it every chance I can....weather permitting these days... I am now focusing on learning how to fine tune things on the car.. Orignially I set the idle mixture screws to three turns out and was running like...

Yes its a daily driver the comp. is 10:1. I am using X heads, that had new springs and valves put in. I am not sure about the bronze valve guides... thanks

Hey, I just got my 340 running, and where I live the best I can find is Sunoco 94 octane fuel.... Would it be to my benefit to add one of those lead supplment containers to my tank when I fill up? Will the car run better/have more power? I am 24 and new to this, so I am not sure what the...
