OK the latest on my detonation prob
By robbie - 12/02/2001 8:10:34 AM; IP 216.74.205.174
As per my phone conversation with Mel Clark before trying to lean the carbs because of the rich fuel mixture,,I drained the tank and installed 114 octane VP fuel,to address the spark knock first,and after engine warm up I set the total timing to 36 and went for a short drive 1 mile and "hurray NO PING" but when I returned ,,turning into the drive the car died it was hard to start and once started I had to really keep the revs up as it acted loaded up(missing etc,like a vac leak),,I checked my ignition system and tryed running the car again using the back carb mostly and still the hard to start situation and miss ,,With the float levels correct I promptly removed the carbs to check for the blown Power valve as several had sugessted I might have had a weak or leaky one that was causing my FAT problem originally,,I was thinking the added Octane fuel may have leaked right by an already compromised PV,, but they where not Blown BAHHH any leads now ??I have the carbs off and they look perfect inside(no dirt etc and correct 66 jets and 6.5 PV and gaskets IS it time for another compression check??that is a 3 hour job as Most of you have these engines in full sized cars not 67 mustang bodies,,boy is it tight in there
