continuation from my stabbing dizzy thread. i got the car started after h/c swap and heard a loud banging. turned out to be loose rockers. when i had the car started with the loose rockers it idled fine for the brief minute i had it on but now that they are tight, the car starts but will surge and die.so.. what should be my next step. i cant even get it to stay on to time it.

Start with the simple stuff. Check all connections, plus check the timing on the car w/ a light. You may be off slightly. After that, make sure you didn't break any of the vacuum lines or forgot to cap one of them on the intake.

Sounds like a plugged vaccum line came UNplugged. What cam did you put in? Maybe you are having computer issues with the new cam?

e cam. im at the point where i have decided to get it towed in. i just dont really have the time to get this takin care of. if i had a dd to get to work it would be a different story. this was my first time trying to do anything like this and i kinda rushed through it so i have a place im going to take it to and have them do it the right way. i was supposed to be having some coming to help me originally but he coulndt make it so i thought i could do it. i probally could if i had the time because of what i learned from my attempt. learning from miskates is still learning. just might be a semi expensive one
