The carbs were set up for a crossram and the second set we tried came off a crossram. We just checked cam timing. Bullet says this cam should be at 109. It was installed at 110.5. It has a Cloyes Hex-adjust cam gear. So I loosened the 3 gear bolts a tried to adjust adjuster cam within the cam gear and sure enough it cracked. I guess I'm done until Tuesday when I can call Cloyes. I greatly appreciate everyone's feedback and suggestions. I'm going to Norwalk now just to watch some cars that actually run. Thanks, Charlie.
I will assume that cam is a 112 LSA and they said to install it at 109... bummer you broke the gear but thats better to do it now then later... if it is a 112, I would advance it a bit more than the 109... but thats me.. it would make more low end torgue and it would help increase the stall on the conv a little... but being that its falling on its face right now you dont really know what the stall is because you arent making the torque

I'm not 100% sure what you mean when you say spray the intake? I've heard of it, but what are you spraying it with?
Spray it with carb or brake cleaner.. it has to be a flammable product ... but if its leaking it will suck in the carb cleaner and you will hear the revs come up(its burning the cleaner like fuel)
I have had good luck using an unlit propane torch. Crack the valve and wave it around the intake flanges and carb base. If you get near a leak , the rpm's will take off.

That works fine also... like I said .. any product that is flammable will work

A smooth way to find a vacume leak is to lay a nice bead of shaving cream across the intake's edge

I think you are the fellow. That had the nice black 65' coronet. We talked to you about installing hoses on the vent tubes. We also enlarge the pump shot hole to help with a car that stumbles like yours is. Larger squirters might cure it as well. Also have you tried running it on the front two barrels of each carb? Might rule out a problem or find a problem with secondarys. Might try a set of mechanical secondary carbs to see if it solves the stumble. Poppaj

This may or may not help, because you have already tried another set of carbs. I had the same problem and chased it for a whole season. After replacing just about everything imaginable on the car I found it at the end of the season. It turned out to be one of 2 things. Because of time restraints at a race I changed the vacume pod diaphram and spring at the same time in both carbs. I made a pass with the car and that was the last time I had the nightmare stumble. I'm leaving off a brake so there is a difference there. Good luck!
hey don how are ya?

We tried routing the vent tubes that day and it changed nothing on our car. We have tried squirters ranging from 30's to 55's. We also held the secondaries closed to make sure they were not opening to fast. I've thought about trying a set of mech. secondary carbs but my play fund has dried up with everything I've tried over the past 3 months.

So how big is this motor and what are the cam specs?
TQ stall??
Motor is supposed to be a 514. Cam is a Bullet with actual vave lift on intake of .832 and exhaust of .780. Duration @ .050 is 283/288. The most I can footbrake it to is 2600 rpm.

Well I had an Engine builder ask if the intake runners in the heads were black and gummy? Sure enough it's pretty black and sticky. When I told him that Bullet said the cam should be at 109 and it is at 110.5, he immediately asked about the intake runners. He said it really sounds like it's getting a lot of exhaust reversion back in the cylinder and intake manifold. That could explain why when I first start it it seems fine and revs good but after about 2 minutes or so it won't rev smoothly. We are going to advance the cam to about 105 and put it back together. I will post how it goes whether it's positive or negative. Thanks again for all the feedback
That cam definitely will like 105 way way better than 110.5 or a 6500 stall speed converter. even 104. So it was dragged down by the converter holding it out of it's power band .
