The car started to run like crap while trying to tune it friday and I realized that the plugs were doing the same thing they did another time it started to run that way. 10:1 a/f ratio was hit several times and they were fouled black.
I also took the time to finally replace the rocker studs with longer ones that were needed to be on the safe side. I set the lash up to .040 from .035 to see if I can pickup a bit more vacuum and a better idle. The Rhoads X lifters can go as much as .050 with the cam I have so we will see if it helps.
I am calling it a day and will try to start it tommorow sometime.
With the weather being as nice as it has been it will be tough not to be tempted to get it out and drive. I still need inner fenders to keep all the road crap from getting everywhere so I keep telling myself to not get carried away.
Tuning it without putting it under a load is not doing me any good results with the timing and the VE table definately is greatly effected by it. I have to get my other stuff done and save the gas for the street.
The snow slid off the hood of the truck today and that is a good sign, it was there from the first snow and I am glad to see it go. winter has been way too long for me this year with the car so close to being a good runner.
