I have been running without vacum hose for a while since the vacum bell on my Mallory ignition was defect. Now I nhev a new vacum bell, but after I remove the plugs and attach the hose to the carburettor (passenger side connector), the engine hesitates and low speed/ low rpm

Thanks I will have someone to look at the carb!

I have been running a Edelbrock 600 cfm for a year but ut seems too big (stalls/floods all the time). Anyone tried the new AVs2 (500) from Edelbrock?

Are these fuse issues?

Hi, it is only the passenger side that were the turn signal and brake light does not work. Headlights are fine on both sides.

Suddenly dead. I tried with a voltmeter, no current. Ordinary taillight works ok. Where to look??

Hi It's time to change tires.The tires that are on now are 195/65/15 front (Nokian) 205/70/15 rear (interstate) Is this a good configuration I should stick with? Roads here are worn and I want to avoid "tracking". Any good comments or alternative suggestions? (Car has 285 HP) and...

Just blew the ignition module inside my Mallory distributor. When I installed a new module I read the enclosed instruction sheet that stated "Failure to use a resistor will result in the eventual destruction of the module". I have a resistor, but it has been bypassed by someone working on the...

After my latest upgrade the engine runs warmer. The car also was run in a DynaPack tuning machine. What causes the rise in temp? I changed carb (500cfm to 600 cfm), intake (performer to RPM AirGap), and manifolds to headers. Also installed an underdrive pully (which I might remove because og...

I turned out to be missing shims under tranny

When driving between 50 and 70 mph I get this rythmic (galloping) rumble in the car. The rythm seems to be more or less constant. It is there when acelerating. It reduces when driving down hill. There is also a slight vibration before shifts (AOD) There is also a certain vibration when reving...

Yes, and I still have a very silent ride. You can only hear the wind when cruising in 60 mph!!

Here is the report. Grey curve= as it was (Hipo manifolds, 500cfm carb, performer intake) Middle red = Underdrive pulley, RPM Airgam intake, Scott Drake Tri-Y headers added Top red = 600 cfm carb

I will post the report when I get it. Their printer was out of ink. The report showed 3 curves, the initial test (attached to 1.post), then a run with the new headers, intake and underdrive pulley, and a third curve with the new carb. This was from tuning, so I don't think one could tune more. I...

What is the ideal distance between fan blade and radiator? I have 3 row stock radiator and mechanical clutch fan with large plastic fan shroud.

It is specified in the Edelbrock web site that performer heads are not to be used with roller cam. A motor-specialist will attend to the car in the end of the month. He told me the springs must be switched to type CCA-986-16 in the performer heads in order to work with roller cam. We also will...

We found out what was wrong. The Edelbrock E-street heads they gave me with the roller cam was not meant for roller cam!

We have found an error. The dealer sold me the wrong cylinger head. Aluminum Cylinder Heads - Ford - Small-Block - E-Street - Edelbrock, LLC. It turns out it is not meant to be installed together with roller cam and lifters.
