    Cold Start Misfire

    This is a bit annoying: My engine is misfiring badly at cold start. 2 shots of the accelerator pump and it will usually fire right up and go to high idle, but it misfires really badly initially. It runs around 1000 rpm due to the cylinders not firing (high idle is set to around 1500rpm). It...

    Engine Stalling After Short Drive

    My engine is stalling out and I'm not sure what to look at. 1974 318, stock long block, mild street cam (think stock 340), performer intake, headers, QFT slayer 600 vs that has run stupid, plug fowling in 20 seconds, rich since new. I have not been able to get the car to run right in a few...

    Fuel Pouring Out of Secondary Boosters

    My QFT SL-600 has been running like crap so I pulled it off to recalibrate it. In the mean time I installed a 4175 I rebuilt a while ago. I was lazy and just cranked over until I got fuel in the bowls and checked I didn't have a fuel leak somewhere before starting the car. It started fine, but...

    Secondary Throttle Idle Adjustment

    I am having a hard time getting my 318 to run right. Its a stock 74 engine 82k miles with a mild street performance cam (I assume similar to a 340 cam; my dad installed it in the 70's) , performer intake and a new 4160 QFT Slayer 600. It is running rich. My AFR is reading around 12.0 at idle...

    Engine Bay Lights

    This has made working on the car so much easier. The set up is water proof, adhesive backed, 5630 led strip I bought off amazon to do my tail lights and some speaker wire run down the hood to the battery. Its cheap and way better and brighter than holding a flashlight.

    Quick Fuel Slayer Series?

    I'm getting tired of messing with the old Holley's I have and don't trust them very much. I'm looking at the Quick Fuel Slayer series 750. It seems to be pretty budget friendly and everything is adjustable. I'm looking for reliability, and good street manners (I want my wife to be able to drive...

    318 Spread Bore No Idle

    I have a Holley 4165 that I rebuilt for my 318. I am not having any luck with getting the car to start. If I pour gas into the engine or hit the accelerator pump 3-5 times, I can get the car to start, but it shuts off after a second and will not refire unless I hit the accelerator pump a few...

    I am tryin to install a Holley 4175 I rebuilt in place of the leakey, jerryriged 4160 on my 318. Does anyone have a picture of how the throttle and kickdown linkage should be set up for a 4175? I think mine has neen modified for use on a Ford and I need to know if there are brackets missing...
