most chevys run around 8 deg initial timing and 36 total advance. only more radical combos have it a bit different. so far all ive heard is its running rich? describe your run on problem?

[ryan01]

umm it runs on when u shut the car off in park.. but not in gear?? also my friend was fiddling with the idle on the carb and witht the distributor cap soo i dont know why its back firring and what not, ,alos when u give it gas off the start it feels like its flooded and doesnt want to go rite away so is that the tuning on my carb? just wondering thanks for the help ryan

Check your fuel bowl float level. Could be too high.

[ryan01]

will i see when i take off the air cleaner and it will be on top?? and if it is that how do i adjust that
so it may not be the timming and the idle?? thanks ryan :hs:

[79 Z28]

its to do with your carb, and timing and possibly some vacume issues

[ryan01]

alrite man thanks alot il have to get that checked out
u know how to do a msd ignition box and coil by any chance?? let me know hahah thanks ryan

Hm where do you live? Anywhere near Abby? I wouldn't mind coming by and giving you a hand, I hate explaining shit, I prefer to actually show people what I'm talking about. And it seems like you're kind of new to this, reading shit is never as good as doing it.

[ryan01]

hey man that would be great!!!!!! and the bad part is i live in white rock ! :ugh: so maybe some beers might help :noes: thnaks man let me know

can also be caused by carbon build up in combustion camber

[ryan01]

yeah maybe but im leaning towards the carb and timming cuz my buddy was fuckin with it so its prolly that but i have no idea how to set it right! :noes:

Convert to EFI :rofl:

(Sorry, but the carb guys always say that when a person has a problem with EFI, so I couldn't resist).

Convert to EFI* :rofl:

(Sorry, but the carb guys always say that when a person has a problem with EFI, so I couldn't resist).
just get a cup of gas and a window screen, take the carb off, put the mesh on the manifold, pour faster to go faster slower to slow down, piece o cake :D

[ryan01]

yeah thats alot of work that i dont know how to do LOL :rofl: :rofl: :ohboy: serriously

What have you got for tools? This weekend would be iffy, I've got to finish a head gasket on a turbo'd Supra (argh) but if the weather is bad I'm going to leave the job for a nicer day (my genius cousin parked the car outside). That means if the weather isn't great and you have a covered area to work on this thing, I can come and give you a hand.

[ryan01]

top right of your screen, it says

the number and messages will b highlighted a different colour, just click on it, and the rest speaks for itself :D

[allpontiacs]

:cool: What he said. Better yet would be if you let me know when you want to do it (NOT a weekday though, after work I am done!), every post I make gives you an option to PM me. There's a button somewhere under my screen name, I think.
