she finally runs

[benetton]

after way too long she finally starts and is fully functional. i just need to clean up the engine bay and wrap some wires and do a few other things before the maiden voyage. I've backed the car out of the garage and drove it back in but thats as far as ive gone so far.
heres a couple shots of my almost complete engine bay.

greg, how are the carbs jetted and are they 40's?? looks great

[gwb72tii]

you got any specs for the jets? and yes they are 40's, but the motor is not running as smoothly as it should. it also has a 300* cam, so maybe it is, it just sounds way different to me at idle.

I bought them from a guy who ran them on an 02 that had a 292 cam and 9.5:1 cr. I rebuilt them and my engine is very similar to his setup so it's just a matter of adjusting the air fuel mixture screw. My wideand is functional so tuning should be slightly easier

do you know "dap" from the FAQ?? when i was building my stroker car i had lots trouble getting the carbs right. he spent literally a couple hours on the phone with me helping me tune them. that was my first array into webers. i still dont know much but i know a little.
my 40's are maxed out and i really should have 45's. if i were you id at least email him and ask him if the base settings you have are good. heres a very helpful guy.
do you know what idles and mains and chokes you have??
the fact you have a wideband will really help

you have a sych tool right?? that and the linkage are very important

[benetton]

Yep I have a sync tool and they are synched very close

[benetton]

My dad is going to get his kfish tuned by a guy who is also great with dcoes so I'll get them professionally tuned before the trip if I can't get them dialed in

[benetton]

Looks awesome man! What are the specs on the motor? I wish I still had one of my 02's.
