    Engine running like crap on ethanol

    Hey guys. I've been away for some time, so I'm sure this has been discussed ad nauseum. My engine(440, Edelbrock AVS2 800) was built to run on Shell 91, which here in Canada had no ethanol until last year. This year my engines not been running well, and while there are ways to remove the...

    Air filter too small?

    In my 1970 Plymouth Satellite, I've got the 440 with the Performer RPM intake and an AVS2 800. With the stock Satellite hood, I could never have fit a full size 14"X3" air filter. I have to run a 14"X2", which just fits with the air cleaner stud poking slightly in to the hood insulation. The...

    Edelbrock issue or set up not right?

    Now this engine was dyno'd with a Holley, although I don't know which unit. I've not had any issues with the Edelbrock I put on it, mind you as soon as the engine was in the car, I took it to a chassis dyno nearby and had them set up the new AVS2 800. He set it up and I've never had issues, but...

    Chassis dyno answers fuel/air questions.

    So last week I took my car to a local speed shop to properly set up the Edelbrock AVS2 800 and just make sure all is good. They asked me if they could do it on the chassis dyno, which was there preferred way of setting up vehicles. I agreed. I had posted a question in here about having enough...

    Am I getting enough air?

    On my 440, in my '70 Satellite, sits an Edelbrock 3/8" drop base air cleaner and a 14" x 2" air filter. I've done this because of the RPM intake. it just closes with the nut touching the under hood matting. Now this engine dyno'd at 488hp at 5400rpm, but it never sees that high of revs on the...

    Difference in intakes

    Hey all. Slowly piecing together stuff for my 440 swap this summer. Now that I've got my headers, I'm looking at intake and carb. I've got the original intake and Thermoquad off the engine, which is a 1977 440 lean burn. My question is on the intake right now. There is a 1969 440 cast intake on...

    Lean burn '77 Thermoquad

    So I'd posted a while back about buying a 1977 440 out of a New Yorker, as an engine for my 1970 Plymouth Satellite. So now I have a 1970 383 and this 440. Of course the 440 is a lean burn engine. While I haven't torn it down yet, I'm hoping the core parts, block, heads, crank, rods, are usable...

    Leaking fuel tank at inlet

    So I have my brand new fuel tank and spout with cap, and there is no rubber seal or any kind of seal for that matter. Even at half a tank the fuel leaks out on the road while driving. I've contacted the manufacturer of the tank and spout and they dont carry anything. The spout has that raised...
