rpm/hp/electrical problem???
I have a stock car, the engine is 3 nights old, the problem I am having is the engine comes on about the middle of the front stretch. I have the same or more gear then most cars, more gear then I ran with the same engine combination the last time. I've done a leak down test, all under 10%, put a fresh carb on, new plug wires, new air cleaner, checked lash, I don't know what else to look for,
-
MSD dizzy polarity if used. Bad tach, disconnect. Ignition coil. Ignition timing. Cam timing is a possibility.
-
Running a msd, with digital box, quikcar remote recall tach, moroso insulated plug wires, 4412 carb,
-
Before it starts running does it bang or pop or cut out or anything? Or just no power? May of degreed the cam in wrong
-
No. It starts fine, no pop or bang. Cam is degreed in where it's supposed to be, new timing chain,
-
Did it ever run correct since apart?
-
It ran good a few weeks back, but now it's lazy til halfway down the straight.
-
check your timing again. if the dist. ever loosens up it will always retard the timing.
I think there should be lifeguards in the genepool.
-
What are the details/specs/components of the engine? Does it idle well? Perhaps it sucked the intake gasket or some other vacuum leak? Fuel quality can be a major issue.

had a local guy having a similar problem, he found the balancer turned and timing was 23 instead of 36, not the first time I saw this with stock dampers
-
It's a aftermarket balancer, I timed it at 36 on the 0 mark, and at 0 on the 36 mark, none of the plugs look to be burning any oil, I buy fuel from the race track, the same truck that supplies the other cars

chassis dyno. Saves so much time and money. First stop I make with any new car or new motor. Tune it on the dyno, have numbers of when everything is right. Think you have a problem..... you will know in 2 pulls on the dyno and if you do you can figure it out pretty (not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word)(not a nice word) quick with all the info in front of you.
