So hows the car running? I have a 8-71 on my 408w and have just gotten it started. I am trying to get the thing to run a little better now but haven trouble with the carbs. Im using holley 750's and i think i need to jet it down a little. Where do you have your timing set at?

**blownzoom440** · 06-01-2005, 09:59 PM

set at 32 w/8lbs,110 citco fuel.92/90 jets no power valves.

i tuned the car at the track yesterday with a 11.04@122 after some tach interferance issues.i need some clean plugs for the next time out to read better.i think i can add some timming and fuel still.the batteries died in my egt so next time i will have more info.

with further inspection of the boost guage i had 3 lbs so i got a new guage and the same result.the hp is there for 8lbs but not the boost psi.i flipped the pulleys for more psi and got 6 to 7 lbs when i stab the gas with the breaks on to 3000rpm.i added some fuel,clean plugs,batteries in the egt so i am ready for next weekend at dragway 42 in west salem OH.
