If you want to use a cam with more lobe lift [ smaller base circle ], you could use lash caps on the valve tips to take up the difference.

The water pump needs to be OVERDRIVEN 10-20%. More info: www.stewartcomponents.com

Wheel alignment. It's horses for courses. Some folk like to chuck their cars around corners to the car's limit. I used to be like that, but as I have gotten older, I am more interested in driver comfort/convenience. Happy to sacrifice a few mph in cornering speed if the ride is more...

What is the idle vacuum with the VA unit connected to manifold vacuum? The man vac port is the lower port on the front of the carb.

To determine the correct amount of idle timing, you do this simple 5 min test: - engine warmed up to operating temp, mixture adjusted as best as possible, engine idling in gear. - slowly rotate dist CW [ advances the timing ]. - keep going until you get the highest rpm/smoothest idle. Toggle the...

Virg, The centri curve & total mech advance is the LAST thing you do..... The First thing you do is get the idle timing correct. Failure to do this will result in the car not performing at it's best. One member has already told you his combo needed 60* at idle. Hint, hint.

I didn't read anywhere that this is a drag race only car. This is what MVA can do.....

Post #2.

I wouldn't use the MSD plug; it doesn't have a ribbed insulator. The ribs extend the surface length from the terminal to the plug body. The increased length makes it harder for the spark to 'leak' away to ground.

Nope, the 800 AVS....is 800cfm, not 750. Edel made ALL the throttle bores 1/16" larger on the 800m carbs v the 750 carbs. 1 3/4" v 1 11/16".

Thanks for the reply. I do not see a problem with the contact patch moving further out on the lifter surface. The actual contact area is very small because of the lobe taper/crown on the lifter. It is so small that the oil gets squeezed out because of the high, concentrated load; the end result...

And...

Post #11. Sounds like you have vac adv connected to a man source [ MVA ]. That is GOOD. But that often leads to quotes suçh as 'MVA didn't work for me', when the real problem is the MVA was not dialled in... MVA itself was not the problem. The fact that MVA only added 10* of timing makes me...

Ceedawg, I also know who is talking rubbish....& it is not me. Do you think when they regrind a cam they only grind the base circle area......& leave the rest of the worn lobe untouched & blend it into the newly ground section?????????? Ready to destroy the new lifters that will...

It is wrong to claim the AVS2 is a 'rebop' of the TQ. Totally different. TQ has triple primary booster design, AVS2 does not. AVS2 has venturiis with a booster in the secondaries; TQ has no sec venturiis, just discharge tubes.

Well, there is your problem: 10" of vac in gear.....That leads to other problems. PCV is probably not working with 10", likely that it is vibrating/oscillating letting in more air than it should. With car in gear, put your hand on the PCV. If you can feel movement, it is not working properly...

I always buy the best oil I can for my car, which is syn oil. It is a small cost in the overall running cost of the car....

Edel AVS 2. But which one, 650 or 800? The 650 would be my choice, buuuuuuuuuuuut: you have a 4 speed, 3.91 axle & a dual plane intake all of which lend themselves to a slightly larger carb. Your call.

What engine size, cam specs, timing at idle? I would NOT change float height. For reasons known only to Edel, they went lower than the original AFB. Only reason I can think of is that less likely of misfire from cornering/sudden stop where fuel could slosh into the t/bores. Going to a smaller...
