Re:[Chevelle-List] is it the coil?

2003-06-10 Thread tigergutt
I dont think a coil can go bad, I think its either working or not working.

I had the same issue with my hei and changed the module, it worked fine until it got 
hot and then it started missfiring, I later upgraded to an MSd module, coil and 
bushing and its stronger than the original ever was.
If you go for the msd module remember to upgrade to a heavier gauge wire or it will 
burn.

  Can anyone provide me with some symptoms if the HEI
 coil is going bad?
 
 Tonite, to solve my prob of my car running crappy, I
 figured I'd start with the obvious and change my
 plugs.  Yesterday I put new wires on it, and after
 changing the plugs, the car will barely stay running
 at the current idle settings.  A week ago it was
 totally fine- For anyone not familiar with my engine,
 it's a freshly rebuilt 327 with a brand spanking new
 Edelbrock Performer 1406 carb.  It was running great,
 I took it out for a 10 mile spin last Thurs nite, and
 as of Sunday I am having all of the issues described
 above.
 
 I have checked all vacuum lines, and they are all
 connected just as they were last week when it was
 running fine.  I have also looked at the distributor
 to make sure it didn't move, and it has not.
 
 Could this be that my hand-me-down HEI is dying? 
 Would a dying coil cause the issues I'm having?

I thought I had a coil going bad once but it turned out to be a failing
wire. The wire that led to the ballast resistor had corroded almost through.
As long as there was a connection, the car ran perfect. When it would break
connection it would behave as though I had water in the gas.

I don't know if an HEI can go bad but I know a point type coil can degrade.
I agree that it usually turns out to be the module. I replaced one once and
forgot to put the special grease on the bottom and wiped that one out in no

RE: [Chevelle-List] HELP! Timing or what?

2003-06-10 Thread J. Brady
Hey all-

I'm very curious with this topic, as I'm beginning to
wonder if I have mine 180 out as well or not-  When I
put my motor together, I had everything out (crank,
cam, pistons, everything), and when I reassembled, I
put the timing marks together as I thought you are
supposed to.  When the marks were together, the
notch/stub on the cam was at around 2:00, and the key
in the crank was where the timing mark would be once
the balancer went back on.  I'm not sure where the #1
piston was at that point, but I would think it was at
the top of the cylinder (can't remember)-  I know from
previous info that the #1 piston should be at the top
of the cylinder when the timing mark is at the 0 on
the timing tab, or something is wrong. 

If the key on the crank was in the right position, and
the cam notch was at 2:00, and when putting the
distributor in, the vacuum advance was at approx 2:00,
is there any chance I could have put mine back
together wrong?  Just trying to understand how one
could set the timing 180 out?

Thanks,

Jim

 When both marks are pointing at each other, that is

 When both marks are pointing straight up, that is #1

 It sounds as you set the timing up with both marks

 be 180 degrees out
 of timing.
 
  
 
 With everything back together, remove #1 Spark plug

 set to 0 degrees.  Rest the distributor to #1 cyl,

I have another problem. OK, I recently replaced
 my timing chain and
 the big/top sprocket. It was the actual sprocket
 that was messed up. The
 teeth were all eaten away. Now I try to start my
 Chevelle and it will
 start, but it coughs something fierce with gas
 spurting on the carb at
 every cough. 
I align the two gear notches as required and put
 the front cover back
 on. Today I loosen the distributor and had a friend
 start it as I turn
 the distributor. I sounds a LITTLE better but still
 coughs and spits gas
 from the carb. What else should I do?
I changed plugs today -- no real difference --
 any suggestions?

[Chevelle-List] Adjusting Holley 4150 richness

2003-06-10 Thread Krister Meister

I have a Holley 4150 List # 3310 on my 396.  Even when warm and manual
choke completely pushed in - it idles rich.  Any idle speed less than 1000
RPM and it will eventually bog out and die.  I've searched through Holley's
website trying to find tuning rich / lien adjustments with out any real
success.  The primary meter block has an idle adjustment screw on each side
- I am wondering how these are to be set or any other ideas behind getting
this to run less rich.

RE: [Chevelle-List] Adjusting Holley 4150 richness

2003-06-10 Thread Dave Studly
Krister,

The screws you see on the metering block are what you want to adjust.  For
best results, get a vacuum gauge and hook it up to a vacuum port that has
manifold vacuum (below the throttle blades, not above).  There should be one
in front, angled towards the passenger side.

In park/neutral, set your idle speed.  Since you say it is running rich, try
turning the idle mixtures screws on the metering block 1/4 or 1/2 turn
clockwise.  These screws control fuel flow.  Closing them down (clockwise)
flows less fuel and should lean out your mixture.  Remember to try to adjust
both sides of the carb somewhat evenly, probably in 1/4 or 1/2 turn
increments.

If your mixture is off, then you should hear the engine pick up a few RPM as
the mixture gets closer.  This is where the vacuum gauge comes in.  To
really set it right, adjust the idle mixture screws to achieve the highest
vacuum reading you can.  Now, if the engine speed has picked up, reset your
idle speed and try adjust the idle mixture again, looking for max vacuum.
It should only take a couple tries to zero-in on something that will let
your engine idle.  If you don't have a vacuum gauge, just use your ear and
listen to RPM.  Tune for highest RPM.  (if you lean it out too much, RPM
will drop again)

If you're having trouble,  reset the carb to a known baseline - close the
idle mixture screws all the way, then open each side 1.5 turns and start
again.  Since you state your car wont idle now, it might be good to start
here and then try tuning it.

If you're still having trouble after doing all that, you could have a
blown/leaking power valve.  That will require removing the float bowl and
metering block to verify.

Hope this helps.. if you have more questions, I'll answer them as best I
can.. I've done my share of tuning/re-building Holley carbs and am fairly
familiar with them.

-Dave

Well, I can't be entirely sure about a big block, but
on my small block, I have to jack up the car, and lift the motor off the mounts
for the drivers side. I lift the car for the proper angle, and lift the
motor off the mounts for just enough clearance. It's a pain, but it
will fit. As far as the passenger side, nothing is required. The
starter can still be attached. Good luck, I guarantee that you will bust
a few knuckles getting it in there.

Well, I'm in Arizona, but MapPoint says Nashville, TN is 161.4 miles away
from Oak Ridge, TN.  Nashville, TN is 195.1 miles from Clinton, TN.

Neither have I Clint. But, I swear, some of the stuff I've seen sold and

Yeah, I got 
the pass side in no problem. The driver side is proving to be a headache. 
I'mwondering if it makes sense to remove the steering colume and see if I 
can feed them in from the top.

  Well, I can't be entirely sure about a 
  big block, but on my small block, I have to jack up the car, and lift the 
  motor off the mounts for the drivers side. I lift the car for the proper 
  angle, and lift the motor off the mounts for just enough clearance. It's 
  a pain, but it will fit. As far as the passenger side, nothing is 
  required. The starter can still be attached. Good luck, I 
  guarantee that you will bust a few knuckles getting it in there.

  Well, since I got 
  so much help on the valve covers, I'll try a harder problem. Does anyone know 
  which parts have to be removed to get a set of Hooker headers onto my big 
  block 70 Chevelle? So far, it looks like the starter and the steering column 
  have to move. I'd HATE to have to remove the heads to get them 
  on.
  
  
  
  I need help on 
  this one - anybody know how it's done???
