  • Ok, so this week I’ve been called on to fix 2 different carburetors that “needed tuned”
    90% of the time, the biggest issue with performance cammed Small Block Chevys is improperly tuned IGNITION SYSTEMS.
    Well, let’s just say I found 2 perfect examples this week, but the Trans Am was an EXTREME situation that made for an EPIC TEST DRIVE when the customer came to pick up his beloved Fully Restored “Restomod”1976 Pontiac Trans Am.

      Thought along the same lines, I must be getting older because I got more joy out of seeing his joy then I do sometimes for myself accomplishing something.

THEN the "one more time, ONE MORE TIME!" had me laughing and smiling and happy for him! GREAT JOB! on a great and gorgeous car!!!

    So many of these "carb" issues are classic. A lot of the younger folks haven't had the experience of tuning an engine properly at all. Good on the old man for helping the newer folks understand the issues that are the real problem.

      I maybe used the wrong phrase to suite everyone when I said younger folks. It was meant in a broader sense in relation to most people in general. Not a lot of folks know the proper way to tune and read an engine.

    • @lit549
      @lit549 8 місяців тому

      I have a question, just one I promise! Locked the timing and it retards timing while being revved, like 6deg. So, do I set the timing till it stops retarding, and just live with more idle timing or just set it at idle and live with the loss of timing?

    • @lit549
