RE: After checking timing, check.....
By John W - 05/07/2003 2:33:28 AM; IP 198.81.26.42
okay, here goes, I will TRY to discribe the problem better........lol
the motor is very fresh, less than 2k on rebuild, the long block was bought from CHECKERS, rebuilt by a company called SPARTAN MOTORS out of Phoenix Az. the cam was added by me, just a Mellings RV cam, sold by CHECKERS, sorry, no spesific info for it, with a matching lifter set.
the carb is a HOLLEY 650 DOUBLE PUMPER, intake is an old EDELBROCK STREET-MASTER, (low rise single-plane for those who don't know), ignition system is stock single point system for 74 truck.
trans is a C-6, rear gears are 4.10:1
stock type single exhust w/turbo muffler

now for the problem/s.......
1) back firing during accleration
2) top end of 65 MPH or so, and not able to
hold speed while going up hill (2 to 4%
grade)
3) LOUSY gas milage ! (4 to 6 MPG)

Okay, does that help you help me? God I hope so, I'm at the end of my rope and about to put a match to it if I can't figure it out! JUST KIDDING, SO FAR!
This thread, so far...

 Sounds like the timing is not advanced far enough. -- Royce Peterson, 05/07/2003
 Add advance; make sure power valve is for high altitude. [n/m] -- Mr F, 05/12/2003
