HELP HELP!!
I have just rebuilt my factory roller motor carbed 85 fox 5.0. I put new gt40 heads on with the springs, valves, etc that comp cams recommended. I put factory bore pistons, rings, and new eldebrock 650 carb with eldebrock intake. The cam is a comp cam magnum series 35-440-8. On first fire up the car ran and idled fine. I broke in the motor as recommended.
On first drive it did not have much power and bogged down when given much gas. The car idled down and died. I checked the timing and it was a few degrees off. After advancing the timing a few degrees it is hard to start and lost even more power and the temp raised close to overheading. It is drivable but much less power than stock.. From all I know it sounds like a timing issue, but it shows to be perfect. Compression is within range. What is wrong? Any help is appreciated. Thanks.
