Re: 361 Tuning Problem with New Cam, Side Thread to Cab Synchronizers



Sorry I deleted most of this thread accidentally.  Someone may have already mentioned the fuel pump push rod but if not, it is worth checking.  I had a case where a new cam didn't play nice with an old fuel pump pushrod and wore the pushrod right down within a few days thus causing fuel starvation.

Maybe too someone has mentioned that longer pushrods (valve train pushrods) are needed when installing a regular aftermarket cam and lifters (such as one would buy for a late '60's-70's big block) into an early (pre '66 IIRC) big block due to different dimensions of the early lifters and pushrods.  I built a '65 383 out of a Newport for a guy to put in his '70 Road Runner, and I didn't know that at the time.  We figured it out fairly quickly, the fix was to install pushrods out of a 400 parts engine.

Sounds like it's running out of fuel on demand.
Have you changed out the inlet/needle valves and seats?
