flat spot in accelleration
By rick c - 01/27/2002 12:37:11 PM; IP 152.163.201.71
i have a 66 truck with a 352 that has been upgraded to a 390 (crank, rods and bore) i still have the origional 352 exhaust manifolds. i have dual exhausts 2and 1/4 pipes with turbo mufflers, a stock cast 4 barrel intake and a 600 cfm holley. i recently changed the intake manifold gaskets from the stock type with the exhaust crossover to the felpro type that blocks the crossover under the carb. i have noticed a difference in the exhaust (louder i guess more back pressure) and now when i slow down from highway speeds to make a turn and accellerate i have noticed a flat spot. does this sound like a coincidence or is this possibly a result of poor flow through the exhaust? any help appreciated. by the way i was origionally thinking of going with a later engine design, but i learned to love my fe as i have learned more and more about the whole engine family and the possibilities!
