Gentlemen - long time lurker, first time poster. I find my search for information often brings me to this forum... I'm dealing with an issue I need advice on. I'm running right around10.5:1 static compression on a 383 stroker, maybe slightly less. Total street motor... 64 CC aluminum...

Hi, new member! Car has a 350 – auto, lightly modified. Car will idle for roughly 5 minutes, then just dies, doesn't bog down, no change in rpm, just quits. Last time car was driven (about a week ago), ran and drove fine for 2 minutes, died and backfired when attempting to restart. That's...

I’m admittedly stuck on this one. I have a 1994 base model for which I’ve just finished replacing the intake and valve cover gaskets. The vehicle just reached 100,000 miles, and has had no other major problems or repairs other than a replaced ignition module (approximately six months ago)...

Hi All, So I had a tick in the engine, did some research and the general consensus is that is probably either an exhaust leak or a lifter. Well I wanted headers anyway so I got some Doug's Tri-Y's and some flowmasters and they sound awesome but the tick remains unchanged so I will assume that...

Hi everyone, I have a 1978 Camaro Z28 with a 1974 350 LT1 that I had rebuilt in 2008. I drove the car for a while but then we moved to Texas and it only got driven or ran once in a while. Ever since I got the car back from the rebuild, it has not seemed to run correctly. It has okay power and...

Hey guys, I've been having a problem with my '68 camaro. Basicly, I have limited power, off idle stumble, and a slight pop out of the exhaust when shifting. It takes alot to get the rpms up and seems to lose power about 4500 rpm. When idling, a distinctive stumble is heard and throttle response...

Hey fellow Camaro Lovers! I have a few questions about my engine timing, but first I'll explain what I have. I have a 350 ci block bored .060 over, holley aluminum 202/160 heads, 9.5:1 compression, lunati cam(hydraulic, lift: .477 in and .507 exit), advanced crank cog 4 deg, holley street...

I just got done putting my car back together after replacing my clutch. When I turned on the car it revved up and was running at a high idle and not very well. It sounded pretty bad. I am afraid it is the distributor because it is loose enough to turn by hand now. I tried to tighten the clamp...

I have a 377 motor. 400 sb with a 350 crank. I've had the timing checked 3 times the carburator rebuilt 2 times and it still runs like junk. The carburator wont idle unless you cranks the idol screw down to the point your past the idol adustment and are now opening the butterflies which makes...

Hello all! Just last weekend I fired up my 468 for the first time since putting on aluminum heads and installing a comp 280HR. I primed the oiling system and fuel system, plopped the dizzy in and she fired right up. Now I want to get it dialed in. I imagine the first step is to time it and...

I have been dealing with a timing issue (I think anyway) for about 6 weeks now. At an idle the engine fluctuates 200 rpm and up to 4 degrees of timing at the crank. I have researched this on here for a while and have tried many of the ideas recommended. Here is the background: The motor is a...
