ok guys here it is got it runnnin adjust the carb somewhat. i did what eldebrock said to adjust th carb by adjustin th mixture screws all th way out then turning them in until it drops idle then 2 more full turns on both screws. so now im tryin to set th timing. i backed off th idle to about 800 pulled th vac advance n it idled like crap and even cut off but i got it to read around 8 on th crank #s hook th vac back up in it idled better but it still pops thru th xhaust. wich by reading post here is how i can up with 8 much lower than that i cant keep it runnin with th vac off ive went thru th rpms seems to run fine til i let off th gas then th popin starts and does it while it idles not a lot of pops just every few seconds. from what ive read it could b th timing, bad cam lobes, or valves which i had th heads re done a few years back but it was never realy ran just starting n letting it idle for a bit. afeter th heads where done had gas tank issue and it sat for awhile cause i didnt have th time to work on it, but i do now. did i set th timing right? is it popin thru th xhaust a prob? keep in mind i have open headers til i can get som pipes for it, which im hopin th have full 3" dual with an h-pipe. just wantin some reassurance i gues to make sure i did it right. so thanks in advanced
also id like to add that when i rev th engine i take it up to 3grand on th tach much over that it sounds like crap and mite blow up so i dont do that is this its red line? should it go higher? its a stock motor just with a 4barrel carb think the internals r stock. should i be looking to rebuild the bottom end soon?
