<< < (3/4) > >>

Mr.Pontiac:
Sorry it took so long , but i have a little bit of time today to check things out so here go,s, at idle 26 degree,s ,  with a vacum gauge connected i am fluxuating from 8 to 10 psi very fast.At 32 degree,s
at 3,000 right now i cannot throw any more timing in motor or it cranks very slowly with new battery.This is telling me a ignition problem of some kind i believe, plugs gapped at .032. Motor sounds great past 2,000 if i troump down on it.

77cruiser:
You could open your idle air bypass some but then you'd probably have give some more fuel, idle tubes & DCR.

Mr.Pontiac:
Its almost like i am into idle circuit. I tryed to run Cliffs 3 rd reciepe but did not open idle down channels at all. Still factory .052. His book suggests .059 to .064. Plugs where new and all where carboned up after 4 minute running at idle.

Mr.Pontiac:
I took off top & opening idle down restrictions from .052 to .062, ill try it tommarrow.

Mr.Pontiac:
Appreciate all the help i am getting, Hay, Cliff what do you think??
