haven't adjusted the float levels yet....I will give that a try, the timing should be ok on her.....I have already done the tdc on #1

 

Im wondering what the timing is set at?

 

I used the rebuilt Holley 600 carb and am thinking that it flooded out the motor as was the case with the fouling plugs.....I had two carbs from my dad which were probably about 15-20 yrs old....we were going to use the rebuilt 600 for the car but decided that the edelbrock 600 was a better choice for regular driving....the other carb which I believe was a 650 Holley worked fine before we took out the motor in the first place (that got traded in for the edelbrock and some change)...timing is 8 degrees on the motor/////I am taking a break for a few days from the motor so I don't blow a f'in gasket

 

8* degrees at 2,000 RPM, put some timing in it , and adjust the floats

 

Ok, your car is totally messed up and you need to get rid of it quickly. I'll buy it, but I can only offer you like ....$400 for it. Sorry. It's old and broken down and won't stay running...It'll cost me a total of around 2 hrs to get it running right...LOL

JUST KIDDING! I'll give you $500.

Ok...Now on to the useful information. FIRST, I would do away with the eddlepuke on there....but...In lieu of doing that, check the electric choke on it. Make sure it's not keeping the idle plates closed It almost sounds like the choke is still closed somewhere along the line. (won't idle below 2000rpm, and fouling plugs) Maybe you checked it already...IDK. I just think that this will all be in the choke somewhere. Wish you were closer to me...I LOVE carbed cars.

 

It is always funny to get a sense of humor ($500?)......sorry worth alot more than that and especially sentimental value

 

I hope you read beyond my humor though.

 

No it is all cool!

 

Any luck with it yet? If so, what was the problem?
