got a question for you...i have a 1990 chevy k5 blazer tbi 5.7 i just rebuild it ..i did a few up grades nothing big the block was bored 30 over i have 3704 edelbrock intake and comp xtreme energy camshaft in it 434/444 lift and 206/212 duration with seperation 112 degrees the heads were done stock nothing big i have a 700r trans in it i took the stock torque converter out and up graded it with 2000 to 2400 stall converter i do have headers on it 3' exhaust pipes on it..i got 35x12 15' tires on it 410 gears in it ..i put about 600 miles on the engine so far.. i just put my engine in about 3 weeks ago 9/7/20 my engine shuts off at idle ..it sounds like its losing vacuum and its seems like i dont have any power ..it sounds really good its not missing or anything like that..i check everything i cant seem to get my timing correct you suppose to set it to 0 degrees and the computer suppose to advance it..but its no power at 0 i hook my matco vacuum gauge up to it and the arrow is sitting on (late ign, timing) when i accelerate the throttle needle goes up and come back down and stops in the normal spot for a second and then go back to the red (late ign.timing)..i were thinking the computer chip needs to be re programed for that cam ..what do you think ..i would love to get your feedback on this..thanks
since it is a TBI, did you unplug the single brown wire near the firewall? That is the distributor/computer advance signal. If you do not unplug that before you do your initial engine run timing, it can cause issues with the engine. I built an engine a few years back, TBI 350 for one of my trucks and mine was doing random shut-off, and once and a while not idle properly, completely forgot about unplugging the wire while timing it. once I unplugged it, did initial timing, plugged it back in, everything has been fine ever since. Hope this helps.
@@Myvintageiron7512 i hope so! I stood my 460 crank up 2 years ago after you told me thats the way its stored. 1 day i might be able to afford to rebuild it.
Lmao if gravity was strong enough to bend a crankshaft laying flat(exactly how they are stored and shipped) we would have bigger problems then run out. Like the fact that we couldn't run! Old wives tales
@@jasonhooey5677 actually when they are shipped they are supported on both ends by the mains look very closely at how they package them the next time you un box a crank it is actually a fact that a crank laying on its side can sag over time I've seen it happen more than ounce they can develop run out if stored for long perioeds of time on their side you simply do not have enough experince to have seen it go to any engine building shop worth their salt anywhere and the will tell you the same thing.
i already no about the plug disconnected it..and set the timing..

I am extremely interested in attending your class. How can I get information. Please let me know.
Why are cranks always stored on end and not lay flat I always wondered that??
That's not always the case..Look at how a crank is shipped...Just sayin'
it's to keep them from devoleping run out

Do u always check end play without rods/pistons?
you can do it with them out or in the rods have no effect on end play
Can yo tell me where can i find that manual??
It came from Ford, I'm not sure how to get it these days, we got these 10 years ago maybe a PDF file online or a digital copy from Ford
