I'll check this as soon as I can pry my spousal unit out of the car. It runs so good, she don't come home now.:L

Yep. The guy who rebuilt it machined the throttle plates for a good seal, but failed to clearance the secondary jet wells. He also insatlled a screw, one of the three on the bottom, too long. It bottomed out before sealing the gasket. Although he did a fine job, a few details caused a vacuum...

Good point. They even sell aftermarket screens to prevent clogging with carbon.

Buy a set of rubber vacuum plugs. Disconnect every port on the carb and manifold except the map sensor. Plug em all. See if it runs better. If so, add them back one by one till you find the culprit. Cost you $3.00 at the Zone, NAPA, etc.

You need the right tools/gauges to set these solenoids when replaced. My concern is the lack of dwell reading. The solenoid just reacts to this signal, the ECM supplies it.

Cris, Thanks for posting the numbers. I'll check tomarrow on what I read as stock #s. Now that I finally have my 700_R set to shift the way I want it, and the carb mess straightened out, I have been impressed with the performance.

Check the codes and correct them first. If all else fails, and you have the original one, change the Cat converter. If it clogs, it will act just like that.

It's fine. Drive it.:D

Batteries can standby quite some time when fully charged. When a battery sits awhile undercharged, sulfation of the cells can occur. Then they are done. Always store a battery fully charged.

See Gerry, It's not for lack of spending money or time.

I have a DUI dizzy in mine. Complete with nylon rotor screws. I appreciate the help. Keep thinking. I am looking for a defect in an everything new situation. Argh.

Final settings. Float .420, solenoid ht 1.305", travel 4/32", idle mix 3 1/3 turns, Idle bleed 30* M/C dwell. Runs pretty good, but still a slight miss at idle. Off to chase another goose. I believe I have eliminated the carb. Capped all vacuum lines, no change. Next is possible new plug wire or...

Gauge shows solenoid too low

Gauge in place

Well. I had two gauges made. The one on the right is GM replica, the one on the left is Big Bird designed.

Don't ya just hate it when they are right.;LOL;LOL
