slow5oh, that really looks good. Grinding it off turned out very nice, I still wish they would have done that for me. Good job. Have any final pics of it installed??
UPDATE: roller rockers have been adjusted. All were slightly off, but not enough to make it run like ass. TPS was bad, putting out 5 volts, or similar to wide open throttle at idle. That would explain my seriously fouled plugs and billows of black rich smoke. That seems to be fixed now, but still running bad. I'm thinking it's the foulded plugs (I hope) next weekend, my pops is coming over and he's gonna drill for the act and coolant passage while the intake is installed. We're going to use an air drill, and a high powered air vaccuum to keep the shavings away from the engine. I''ll swap out the spark plugs tomorrow night. If for some reason that is the problem, I'll update.
Getting very, very close, but no cigar yet. IT's a turnkey car now, so to speak, just need a lot of tweaking. One thing, it sure sounds a lot throatier and deeper than that old 86 200k longblock I pulled.
5 minutes run time on brand new autolite 764's. I'm hoping this is the reason now that it's running like ass, as I seem to have fixed the run rich condition, but it's got the same plugs in it, for now
