SHES RUNNING!!!! I pulled the dizzy, lined her up with TRUE #1 on the distro cap per that photo. then double checked all of my other wires to...
My mother always said "if it didn't fit, force it" Time to yank that sonofagun out and play line up the oil pump shaft... all for one stupid...
FOUND TDC!!! I also found my #1 position pointing to #5 which is one plug wire from #1. Question is now, is this thing just waaaaay out of...
thats some great information there. I suffer? from OCD and that sounds like I will get the results I want.. Now if I can only stop googling...
I like the straw idea. As long as it's long enough to stick out of the spark plug hole it should never go all the way into the cylinder.
QUICK UPDATE: Engine sat for 2 weeks tops without running. I am almost pretty sure that the dizzy was set in wrong and somebody set the firing...
Pertronix was already installed. All I did was replace the cap, rotor, wires, plugs, and I have a coil but didn't swap that yet... although I have...
I am running pertronixs 1 and yes there is fuel. Rotor alignment sounds like my culprit here.. I am not getting any backfire through the carb at...
I replaced the cap, wires, rotor, plugs, and coil. I am getting spark at the plugs but I crank and crank and crank with no start. I haven't...
Ok so it turns out its the vacuum port for the choke (thats been removed) just having a difficult time setting these up. I get considerably less...
You're right and I've read all of it. I just never found a detailed idea of the vacuum controlled choke on the ecg-6 holleys. So it was new ground...
you're absolutely correct Bruce and I have knowledge to myself very well regarding the carburetors I just did not have the tools to get all of the...
BTW.. anybody know what this vacuum port is for? the new gasket kit I was sent clearly didn't seal over that hole.. holley 94 ecg-6
IM having the same issues as the OP. the bases charlie sent to me are binding with the linkage going to the accelerator pump arm. I am about to...
I am redoing my 3x2 on my 55. I am running into all sorts of problems. First the new base's from vintage I bought are binding at the accelerator...
I pulled the drip roof rail moldings off since I am in the process of getting all the stainless steel repaired and polished. This stuff looks like...
I personally wouldn't get anything chromed in los angeles due to the environmentalist prius driving clowns have ruined that and the paint...
Im already sitting on 4 inch blocks in the rear and dropped springs in front.. I hate to drop the shackle to remove the rear tires as it is now....
Cool thats what I needed to know. I just find it funny how some dudes get uptight about when someone here asks a question about fair pricing. I...
Lately I have been finding myself paying for people to do the work. I work in sports broadcasting as a power guy. I travel all over the world and...

Yeah I worked for a guy that had a place for cars that he did trade work for. He got what he wanted right away and we would have pissed off gang...
No you're right. Its probably nothing to the guy with money to spend but I always knew that if I wanted nice things I'd have to do it myself. I...
I am curious why that is? Because I'm asking a legit question and your offended? Or because you think its going to be a nightmare job? It wouldn't...
Hey that's why I was reaching out to the hambers.. just seemed high to me and wanted to shed some light on it. I've got to make more metal fab...
He said that would include the 4 link in the rear. Mild notch. Monster notch would be another 2k plus trunk work. I didn't include to ask him...
