Any reason the suggested metering today switch causes my truck to vapor lock or something? Since the change, when at operating temp, it dies when I stop or slow way down for a corner...and I wait 30-60sec then it fires right back up and away we go. I tried a new fuel filter, but no...- fallguy

Door adjustment
Sagging doors that don't close well. I adjusted striker to hold it shut so body panels and body line all lined up (by the way only jus loosen the striker enough to slide it around...not necessary to totally loosen), but it was hittin the striker hard cause it was sagging and pins/bushings were... -

I have a 1406 but I'm betting not allot of difference...would .098 as secondary jets be more helpful or will I be too rich then?- fallguy

Metering rods swapped. I notice more low end off the line power and more aggressive low end acceleration....ie spins those 35s off the line. However, when the secondaries open it's still too light I think...there should be more...it's better, but it feel that there should be more power with...- fallguy

Rich Weyland....I have a question for you. How do you know what rods and combo I need or which set is rich or lean or what ever? I'm a bone head about this stuff and have viewed the Edelbrock chart a million times but still can't get it and the rods I have or you've suggested, I don't see...- fallguy

I have ordered the 65/57 rods and will put them in when they arrive. My timings is 16 and my vacuum advance is 12. I can roll the tires from a dead stop but i feel like the secondaries should be more help. Maybe the rods will trip that barrier....I'll report back next week when I know more.- fallguy

68/42 rods, pink springs and fuel pump shot at bottom hole for max shot. The carb has always had a flat spot so Edelbrock recommended those rods and springs to eliminate that dead zone. First I tried moving the pump shot arm from least, top hole, to most, bottom hole...but that did not solve...- fallguy

Ok, I have verified when truck is at operating temp that the secondaries DO open. The bottom mechanism does move about 90 degrees downward from the rotation. I took off air cleaner, held open secondary top weighted flap to see the secondaries actually opening under full throttle. Also I...- fallguy

I'll up my existing .089 to .095 first. I'll leave the vacuum advance where it is. I'll do that warm engine diagnostic as you describe....that part confuses me but I'll try. I'll ignore the edelbrock guys advice for now and try it your way first.- fallguy

Edelbrock tells me to plug vacuum advance into passenger side port (eventho I have no emission stuff) and put secondaries to .098 as well.- fallguy

1406 edelbrock. When my secondaries should be kicking in nothing additional happens. I have no power gains or ability to keep pullin to a higher speed. I'm wondering if my secondary jets are too rich (rich bog) or lean? I can roll the tires off the line and it pulls hard up to the point of...- fallguy

Runs fine now. What a strange deal. Must have been some gunk or bad gasket that created my issue. Good to go for over a week now,- fallguy

Door won't close
Well ok I am an idiot. Just loosen em up and make small adjustments based off if the body lines...that's the ticket. Lots of trail and error. Thank you! -

Door won't close
Ya strikers still have the bushing so I will loosen and move inward to see if that solves it. If that's the answer I feel like a real dumbass for askin the question. I'll report back. When I replaced the striker in the drivers door I though the adjustment was minimally up and down not in... -

Door won't close
The rubber is new. No obstructions. The door closes...and stays closed but it's like the door latch is t grabbing the striker deep enough....if that makes any sense...so the door looks open like 1/4" and you can push the door in that far. -

Door won't close
Passenger side door closes and latches but I can still push it from outside in about 1/2 inch....like it's not catching all the way??? It just started this today? So it's closed and u cannot jus pull it open....but if u push on it it feels like u didn't close it all the way....if that make... -

Not sure what's happening here
Comparing to what I've seen on mine...you're good. New Felpros and silicon on front and rear ends and you'll be fine. Just needed maintenance TLC. Do yourself a favor...buy new intake bolts too and remember to tighten like lug nuts....across. You'll probably notice it runs a little better...- fallguy

Edelbrock WTH!?!
I had to get the phenolic spacer 4 years ago when I bought the truck due to vapor lock. No such issues since then and we've had 4 years of hot summer days without this sudden issue.- fallguy
