Need some input for a 2bbl problem

[Michael Beard]

Agreed... even on Saturday, it sounded like it had a little dead spot in the middle of 1st gear, but sounded good down track. Sounded like it needed more gear & converter.

You can run a good bit more timing than that can't you? Always ran our 360 stuff around 36 degrees.

Yah.... I couldn't believe that the barometer dropped a tenth each day, like it wasn't bad enough! Some people were off a couple tenths from good air!

Thanks for responses.

Billy I will try it that but finding 4000 AA to test in will be a challenge lol.


Michael, I just went from a 3200 convertor to 4200 and run 4.56 with a 27 tire. In the quarter it runs out of gear at about 1200 ft and won't go past 6400. On sat it was breaking up but not like Sunday.

We had a lot of rain this weekend.... moisture in the dist. cap?

[Sam Capizzi Jr]

I checked that on sunday morning after the monsoon. Cap and rotor were in good shape but the wires have alot of miles on them, going to replace this week. I think Billy is right the more I think about it. Probably as simple as leaning it out

What temp were you leaving at?

My 283 is a 10th slower at above 140 temp and feels like two slugs instead of its normal one....

I say Billy hit it ,the way the air was there 2bbl car definately would been rich with no changes,rich will not let car crank rpm ,plus converter could'nt flash as high as normal due to power down from air.
How much air hurts mid to higher class stocker, add more if you have 2bbl.,smaller the carb the worse it gets.

If water temp is that sensitive you may be a shade lean if that little water temp effects you that bad,as temp goes up engine leans more
