Re: LeRoar still having issues

Rich, those symptoms have me baffled. The only thought I have about it is -could the single plane intake be the problem? What conditions could make it draw more fuel toward the cooler bank of cylinders, or less fuel toward the hottewr side of cylinders? Cooler cylinders with more fuel going to them would show wetter plugs and visa versa. ....??????.....MO

Subject: Re: LeRoar still having issues

Eddy's can't handle more than about 6psi or the floats get bent out of shape. Been there, done that.

The pump is a new Mallory unit that is designed for street application without a regulator. I may have to swap the pump back to previous to see if the problem goes away.

The new cam is the 244deg hyd grind. I don't remember if I degreed it this time. Prior to the alternator issue it was running great with almost 24" vac and smooth as silk with the new cam. The new trans was giving me fits and I spent a long time under the dash getting the PB's to work right. Sometime after that is when it went wacky. So I did suspect I damaged something under the dash but after spending some major time there I couldn't find anything wrong. The alternator and volt regulator were replaced and the voltage is stable now.

I switched out the ballast resistor and changed the ECU. All to no avail. The plugwires are 8mm Taylor's. I was wondering if the dist pick-up needed to be checked to see if it shifted. It has to be set with a brass feeler gauge. I will check it out. I have at one point or another sealed all vac ports incl the vac advance. No change. I did not re-adjust the timing yet and I will get after that asap. The manifold has been changed from the 2bbl to the 4 bbl and I have tried 3 different carbs. The current Weiand manifold is a single plane. I intend to check spark intensity soon also to see if the left bank has a lower voltage. I don't have a spare coil but doubt it's my issue. The left vs right bank issue is what really stumps me!

Thanks for the input! Keep it coming. I won't probably be able to work on the car again until the week-end.

I don't know the background prior to the alternator issue but did you degree that new cam?

Also, like Don said that fuel pump pressure seems low. I would desire 6.5 - 7 psi. What setup is that in the inner fender, anyways?
