okay i had a missing probleem so i put a new fuel pump on fixed a vaccum leak but it still isnt right now my question is its a 440 built to 69 specs its got 10.1 com 346 head dual plain eddy intake with eddy 750 performer carb ive timed it by ear wich always was good but now im gonna go at it with a light were should timiing be the best at and what kinda fuel pressure should it be running im gonna check this stuff thanks

it also has mopar performance igintion

You'd want a pump w no more than ~5psi or so at idle when pressure is the highest as to not overpower th needle/seats as the least amt of fuel is being consumed at that point and at least several psi at the end of the strip (or street ) for no starvation/lean out. 36-38 total w vac adv disconnected if used & hose plugged (see I remembered!) and initial anywhere from ~10-20 depending on the cam/eng but the inital gets decided upon/set 1st then the slots get shortened to maintain the required total then the springs then the vac adv if used. I have an ECU you can borrow . Sorry couldn't resist

you really think it could be a bad ecu cause i got a few around here i could swap on off some 80s dodge trucks we had a break from trying to time it cause there neighbors were kinda glareing at me

what should i gap the spark plugs too

Plugs at .035 or .040. Start timing at 18 initial.

i had a 4 prong and that was the problem but now i have a bigger problem it it spun a bearingi believe wont now untill later tonight hopefully i can up some helpers to get my 440 out im pretty sad right now

so why does my oil smell like gas the only thing is i can think of is the old fuel pump leaked gas into my crank case wich is cause my engine to nock so im going to try changing the oil filter and adding some lucas is this a bad idea or should i just bite the bullet pull the engine and see whats wrong and fix it

Could be a rich condition on carb or gas getting passed piston rings. Describe this miss again, could your carb be flooding? Float levels good? If I remember correct eddie's don't take more than 5psi. on pressure. Do you have a gauge on it?

you'l get plenty of fuel in oil if carb is running very rich. If fuel presure is to high. Eddy carbs don't like much more then 6 PSI on the performence models.Look at your plugs. Are they very black? Dump the oil put fresh oil and filter fire it up. If knock is gone you should be OK but find where your fuel problem is. Floats set to high? To much jet ? idle mixture set to rich ? To much fuel presure? Stock cam start timing at 10

its pretty stock for the cam i drained the oil it smelled pretty gasy i check the plugs im running a restictive exaust will that affectit alot im running 2 inch when i pulled the plugs before they looked great but ill pull them again and see what it looks like in there
