Hey,
Well I got the holley/weber 2bbl carb hooked up, along with the HEI unit & alternator. Also gave it a fresh tune-up. Even installed a new vacuum advance unit in the distributor. I really can't seem to find optimum timing though, although I think it's close, about 13-15 degrees advance.
Anyways, I can't get the motor to rev over 3500, maybe 3700 rpms. Shouldn't this 235 rev to maybe 4800-5000 rpm, especially with the progressive 2bbl?
The only thing that I think may be wrong is that it's not getting enough fuel pressure, although I put a new mechanical fuel pump on it. The motor seems like it runs out of gas and leans out, especially when you hold the gas down for a bit. I suspect the cam is worn at the fuel pump lobe if anything because the clear fuel filter is not filling up like I think it should. It did the same thing with the old 1bbl carb too.
What do you guys think? Any opinions would be appreciated, thanks...
