Old school muscle car guys that drag race with rear leaf springs put two or even three clamps between the axle tube and the front spring eye and leave the back entirely unclamped. Basically this turns the leaf springs into a pseudo 2-link or trailing arm rear suspension - which is more ideal for hard drag strip launches. I've seen it firsthand, it's crazy how leaves in the rear all fan out on a launch. But they claim it works well as it helps drive the tires into the ground instead of lifting them as "spring wrap" tends to do.
Forcing the rear tires into the ground on launch is a good thing. I'd suggest taking your clamps off the rear and putting them on the front.
Put the spring clamps to the front of the axle, it'll keep them from wrapping which causes wheel hop. The old school slapper bars so a good job also.
Hmm it must be the low tension rings
I’d still run it with the EVAC hooked up normally. Will help keep seals from weeping if you have that issue. Plus it’s horsepower!
I think i might do that.
Run one rear spring and get some kinda adjustable shocks
Well shoot! I really hoped it was something easy, but you have a result even if it’s not what you want. You ruled out a possibility of something that could be wrong. I am really glad you gave it a shot, and think of it this way, you have more content to come.
Yup it's all good
Try a PCV valve.
Have you just tried a thicker oil?
Gotta be rings... as long as cylendars are good
If it smokes all the time it is rings. Bad valve seals only smoke on start up.
Damn. Hoped that was your issue.
Me too, I don't think the Evac system is a negative issue at this point. I do have one more thing I need to look closer at.
Is compression good on all cylinders. Can’t remember if you already font it.
Yes, I checked compression in the previous video.
On those heads, do the rocker arm stud threads need sealing to prevent oil leakage into the ports?
That's my next thing to double check. When I bore scoped the intake runners, I didn't really check where the threads breach the runners. I I know i didn't use any sealer on them.
@@SquarebodyStuff hopefully you will see this, but i have the same set of head on my 350 and they do protrude into the intake runner. i would definitely check to make sure its sealed. just found this same issue on a set of head that i bought and put on a motor and caused a very similar smoking/fowling plug due to no sealant on the rocker studs in the head
I’m by far any kind of mechanic especially engine building and I haven’t seen any of you other videos . Just stumbled on this and thought it was cool. However are you sure this is lol smoke and not fuel smoke. As is too rich?
It's definitely oil. Fuel smoke would be black.
@@SquarebodyStuff oh ok … I was thinking the exact opposite. Thank you so much and good luck . Hope you will share what you find in the future. I have two square bodies myself . A 74 and an 80 I have had since high school that was my dads old work truck
@andrewpate9157 I'm working on the next video, hopefully what I found will fix the issue.
What type of oil did you use for break in?
Lucas 30wt break in oil.
@@SquarebodyStuff ok I've heard of people using synthetic for break-in and then having a smoke show.
That little of ring blow by ain’t gonna hurt nothing and that venting system is kinda useless. My two cents
Same both sides so its equally bad on both sides...
