I just ran across this on another site where the throttle cable was hanging up pulling the throttle blades open exposing the idle slots and making the mixture screws in effective. how many different problems are we fighting here. so lets take it one at a time.

also hopefully you didn't hone a full .003 out of the cylinders that's a ton. telescoping gages are not the way to measure the bores.


To answer you questions Mr. Jerry we do not remember what the initial timing is set at, we are running an electronic distributor, the distributor not at 180 degrees, there is a thermostat in the car although you cannot see it in my pictures, the carb that is on it right now is a 750 cfm Demon, and unfortunately yes we did indeed hone the cylinders to .003.
