    carb vs cam help needed

    So I am pretty sure all my intake openings are capped off, However it appears that you used something other than tape to seal yours...What did you use to seal your fittings? I will also look into a better vacuum tree like that....Mine is literally from 1978 LOL

    carb vs cam help needed

    One more thing I am not sure I mentioned is that before I wloered the timing, the engine idled fine at 18 degress timing...it idled high, but still sounded good and revved fine, it would just die when going into gear.

    carb vs cam help needed

    I will try that with the throttle linkage and leaving on the return spring..but without being able to give it a little gas i am not sure it will fire easily. As faar as the cam being too big to idle..I am not sure what that means exactly, from what I have seen this cam is comparible to a Ford...

    carb vs cam help needed

    I tried spraying some carb cleaner in those areas, but with the idle roaring at 1500 rpms it was hard to hear any real difference. The carb that was on the engine was old and I had just bought the Holley so it seamed like the logical choice to change it out..I have neve rhad much luck with...

    carb vs cam help needed

    As far as setting idle and timing, so far the only timing the engine has run at "properly" is 18 degress...that is a bit extreme right? Just not sure if that much timing could hurt anything

    electrical smoke when starting

    Sorry for the delay on this, work has been a bitch....So while under the car this weekend the only issue I saw at all wiring-wise was that they had the frame ground bolted in to where the sway bar would mount and the connecting spot under the ground was painted. I took it off and scuffed up the...

    electrical smoke when starting

    Not yet..I am doing an oil change this weekend so while under the car I will check for ground wires etc...the chassis ground looks like it could be "scuffed" up and adjusted but no burn marks or anything of that sort. All the wiring looks good from top side...I have just been so swamped I...

    electrical smoke when starting

    The funny thing is the last '93 Mustang I had did the same starter dragging after I removed the cats and put in an x-pipe. I have always just assumed the issue was due to added heat because it would only do it when hot. The other foxes I had that did this were pre-91.

    electrical smoke when starting

    Thanks Looking at the LMR install video, for time being I can just run it through the solenoid still right? I am going to watch it again, but it looked like they put all the leads on one side and used the other to go to the solenoid on the starter?

    electrical smoke when starting

    I really only started the car yesterday to see if it would perform in the same manner. Since the first day and after starting yesterday I have the cables discoed from battery completely just in case. The cables going to and from the battery and definitely not the originals though.

    electrical smoke when starting

    Yeah that was my thinking but from the top side there is nothing burnt or even discolored. I am gonna be doing headers and midpipe soon so figured that is best time to look at starter area.
