  • @russelljacob7955
    @russelljacob7955 2 роки тому +56

    Crazy thought. Flashback like that usually means flooding and timing issue. Here is the question. Even if ignition is timed correct off crank (TDC), the distributor is timed off the camshaft. Is camshaft correctly timed to crankshaft?

    • @alt7488
      @alt7488 2 роки тому +1

      the timing was off,
      you saw it run just that bit better in between clips as i'm sure jarrad would have been twisting the dizzy in between the shots,
      also the new weights would have altered the advance curve,
      meaning you would have had to compensate

    • @kstricl
      @kstricl 2 роки тому +5

      100% the timing is wrong. And yes, think it's the cam timing and not the dizzy. I am wondering if they used an adjustable timing chain set and installed it way advanced, or just outright wrong. And to be clear, long before Chris bought it.

    Jared, I run a Holley Sniper on a 350 and they’re very picky about O2 sensor placement. You will very likely have major AFR issues with how you have that installed. At least try to extend the pipe another 6 inches past the O2 port.

  • @terrallputnam7979

  • @mcbobly

    It definitely seems like a timing issue, the backfiring and fire in the carb is almost always an indication of timing being off. Nice to see it coming back to life tho.

  • @mikehonda7934
    @mikehonda7934 2 роки тому +23

    Questionable choice, stop in Tavarish shop while he’s recording, take the seat out of his Lexus, and walk out with it like it’s a beer in your refrigerator. Or, just go old school V8 guy, and get a milk crate, and put a bunch of pillows behind you over the bars. There is your questionable decision. All jokes aside, I’d pull and check the heads, pistons, crank, fuel pump, and corresponding components for weaknesses that could have been overlooked in a short time frame. Never know.

    Its a 2/4 bolt 350 chev not rocket surgery to get these to go fast. 500hp is the max for these.
    Pull engine stick in 383 stroker kit. 400ci crank, 6' rods and pistons. And 15 degrees advance.
    My buddy uses this combo all the time.
    When chris was doing the the run you could hear timing fall over at top end.
    And backfire at carb is distributor is 180 out.

    How about a UZ or maybe a 1GZ V12? Would be cool to see a build on one of those, I can see a 1 or 2 J build anywhere. For anyone who doesn't know, the 1GZ-FE is a 5L V12 built for the Toyota Century, it's basically two 1J's stuck together at the crank, to the point that each bank has its own computer, though that could be solved with a haltech or similar, add some boost and you'll be coasting from half track to run 10's lol
