Re: LeRoar still having issues

Seems like a strange mix of symptoms.

I appears the vacuum is now lower. Also, it's all one bank of cylinders that you are having problems with. Why? Intake gasket leak all along the passenger's side?

Less likely but is it a dual plane manifold and there is no connections between the left and right banks - might be bad on one side of the carb. However, you did say the 2 bbl went buggy, too, but it's hard to believe two carbs can have the same problem.

Also, are you sure 3-4 psi is good? I'd think more like 5-6.5 psi.

I agree that an ignition problem makes no sense. However, are the ohms per foot for each wire consistent? Maybe one bank got cooked.

Sorry, lots of maybes.

I got my Weiand 7503 manifold installed with the Eddy 600. The car ran very badly with the 2bbl on the stock manifold. Unfortunately it still runs badly with the 4bbl. I have tried 2 different 2bbls on the stock manifold and the 4bbl as mentioned.

Previously it was running pretty well with the 2bbl and I did have a bad alternator which caused it to run poorly with the low voltage issue. After replacing the alternator the car still ran bad but the voltage issue was gone. I thought that maybe the ECU had been damaged from the electrical issue so I replaced it with a spare. Still running very badly. The fuel pressure via the electric fuel pump is in the 3-4psi range and steady. This is a good number for the Eddy.

I found the right bank to be running 100-200 deg's hotter than the left bank at the headers. The 1-3-5-7 plugs are wet with gas. The 2-4-6-8 plugs are dry but black. After a compression check the cylinders are all in the 175-190 range. The vacuum reading dropped off when the issue arose by about 5". I had actually been getting readings up to 24" but now run about 14". It does hold steady. I checked for vac leak and found none. I checked the spark with an induction tester and all plugs are firing. I do believe I should use my tester which will show the actual strength of the voltage. The new cam probably has about 500 miles on it.

I am inclined to believe there is an ignition issue but I can't reconcile the fact that the problem is entirely on the left bank?? Any ideas?
