just ordered it

I need the pinion bearing spacer for a 741 pinion. Let me know if you have one laying around!

Copy that Sam

I’ve tried searching but cannot get a direct answer. Car is a ‘70 satellite with a 318/904/8.25 2.71 rear. The 8.25 is getting 3.55s and the 904 is getting a 2500-2800 stall. I’m building a .30 over magnum 5.9. I’ve got PIE’s level 1 eq heads with the 2.02 valves and a max lift of .575. Eddy...

Maybe a fuel delivery issue, possible leak at the front intake gasket. While it’s running rough at start up, try using a small propane torch (unlit of course) around the front intake runners where they meet the head and see if it smooths out. Engine might expand when warm enough to seal the leak.

Good catch, and yes it’s the bowl vent which I took off when I rebuilt the carb.

It idles great, starts easy (unless it’s really cold out), and runs at 1/2 throttle no problem. Every once in a while there was a hiccup on the off-idle transition from a stop to accelerate, but I think I fixed that with resetting the accelerator pump rod. I did have some issues with it...

They are 287 jets. I was thinking about running a 1/16 bit through them

The timing doesn’t jump around like the chain is loose or anything, but I’m wondering about it nonetheless.

I did not, but I can throw a gauge on it for pressure. My first thought was fuel starvation from a low float. The float was a bit low, so I fixed that. I guess I can flow test it too with a pint jug and timer.

Yeah I’m not sure where the carb came from, but it’s not the later solenoid version. The choke does not close on WOT, I made sure of that after the rebuild. I do agree that it looks like ignition is still suspect, have to look for a dwell meter. I’m eventually swapping a magnum 5.9, and plan to...

Okay so I’m at my wits end here. I have a 1970 satellite with a 2bbl 318/904 and 8.25 2.73 rear. Engine is original and I don’t think it’s been apart. I have this issue where when I give anything more that 3/4 throttle it bogs and shakes losing power. Here’s what I’ve done: Ignition: new...

Deal pending. Thank you all for the offers!
