I have a 1968 Skylark with a 1969 buick 350 in it. At 3000 rpm's I have a bad bogg. I changed the plugs and 3,4,5,6 is runing good and 1,2,7,8 is runing lean. what is it?:ball: :ball:
350 is rapping For the last month the car was runing good. the distributer whent bad on the booging problem. the new problem is a rapping in the lower end. not good. how much for a rebuild on a 1969 350? what is a good intake. ~JOsh:eek2:
when your lower end is rapping, always check the torque converter bolts first! You may get lucky and they've come lose. Always check for the free fix first. I hope you get lucky on this!
Most people seem to prefer the TA intake, but in my opinion, unless you have the cam, exhaust and head work to back it up, you're probably not gonna see much gain for the money spent. I've even heard of people going a little faster with the stock 4-barrel manifold over the aftermarket ones.
i took the motor out thursday and stripped it apart. one of the main berrings was making all the racket. the block and heads are going to the machine shop monday. josh
motor i got the motor wednesday. i finished potting the motor together friday. i pout it in on sunday and started it on monday. it runs. i got some toning to do. but it sound good. every thing is new but the bloke and heads. ~josh
Factory spec is 4* btdc. Try bringing the advance up to 10* initial. That is WITHOUT the vac advance hooked up. Make sure the port in the car is plugged where the vac advance plugs into. Set your timing then. After you're finished, plug the vac advance up and see how it runs.
