Read last post:
Slightly modified engine, 355, zero decked block, 2 valve relief pistons, about 9.1 static CR, 882 chevy heads with 2.02/1.60 valves, milled to about 74cc, 1.6 ratio roller tip rockers, Comp Cams 268H, headers with side exhaust, stock intake, E4ME carb:
Idle Air Bleed Valve: with engine all nice and warm, dwell varying, I adjust the Idle Air Bleed valve screw but have to blip the throttle before I see a change in dwell. Then after I do, I make adjustments so that I get an average reading of 30. I turned off the engine for about 20 minutes....re-started it, and was checking the timing...and after 10 minutes or so I looked at the dwell reading....it was off again...it was between 10 and 50, but not averaging 30 anymore.
Is something wrong here?
I still feel like this engine just does not have the power it should.
Checked the timing and it was at 38 at about 2200RPMs, which I believe is correct...but still....:W
I have rebuilt this carb, and checked and rechecked things....float level is good, idle mixture solenoid has correct travel....???
What else should I be checking???????????????????????????????????
