A new Carb and Distributor.

[MNcarbturbo]

So you have an edelbrock carb, but still have the stock CCC distrubutor? And you have chopped up V8 headers, and a suspected blowby problem. Somethings majorly wrong with the car. Its going to be really hard to get it to run good without it stockish. Personally Id get some real V6 turbo manifolds, get a CCC carb or a non CCC carb and distributor. Just way to hard to get a taunable baseline with so many variables.

well im getting better headers, found a way to redirect the blowby, and as for the carb and distributor... i dunno...

can't really get much better than the stock 83 headers. I'd get the right carb first. I think it might be a good idea for you to post pics of your engine compartment. How are you gonna redirect the blowby?

if you dont want that carb i will take it. :tongue: the best thing you could do is find the right carb from someone here and have another person tune it for you. there is nothing wrong with people helping you dude. then you can get all the bugs out of that car.

I'll see what I can dig up since I have quite a few carbs here. I even have a customer bringing me one since he repalced his with a Holley. If you don't know how to work on them they can be a b!tch for sure. Send me a PM and tell me how much you can spend so I can figure out whether I can do it for you or not.:smile:

I bet that 7 wire dizzy is where most of the problems are.

your stuck in full retard.

a simple gut change to convert it to vacuum advance and install a 4 pin HEI would make that carb happy(ier) but you still need to learn to tune it.

while a lazy computer controlled carb may sound like the best way to go, I think somebodys messed with the car to the point of where that system is beyond saving. when was the last time you looked at the wiring?
