    A 70 could be higher compression.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I looked up my engine block 3 letter code. Turns out my 83 C10 has a 1975 350 rated at 165HP. It’s not a power house. It’s definitely been rebuilt. I wonder if it has the original cam.

    I have one of those, too. It has the smooth black knob. It’s sitting g for now. I’ll probably use one of my Berg shifters for the chopped bug.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    My pics are the 3 above. The blue engine pics(not mine)are very similar. I would say my balancer is a bit further out. I don’t know when, but I’ll find time to work on it. I have my biggest food truck event of the year coming up. Super busy.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    Not my pics. But, balancer is spaced out like the blue engine pic a my tab I calibrated like the other pic. Without the water pump everything is visible. Mines not. I will try to mark the line a little better.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    It’s hard to see, but the shiny part under the water pump is the back edge of the balancer. Plus the bottom view.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    I haven’t checked the vac pod. But, I will. I know the mechanical advance is t frozen. The carb has two vac ports. Right now I have it to manifold vacuum. That’s what the inseems to say for non EGR engines. The pointer is at 2 o’clock. But, I’ll get a pic. I always thought this 350 was sluggish...

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    Ills see if I can take a pic tonight. I messed with the time, because the wires were all moved over one terminal. I wanted to fix it while the carb was off.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    I have that timing tube and it looks like “o” is one of the marks right next it it. However, the balancer isn’t under the timing tab. It forward, the pulleys line up. So something is mismatched. The truck was a 305 and is now a 350. When I look down I can BARELY see the back edge of the...

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    I think I have a 305 balancer on my 350. It’s not under the pointer. So it’s hard to see with the timing light. Plus the mark is probably off.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    Got to work on the truck today. This carb needs zippers. Had it out two more times. Found the main issue. Under the needle and seats(there’s 2) are mess filters. One was clogged almost solid. The other almost as bad. I also took the distributor out and put it back on TDC for number one. Took it...

    It will come back off when I get the time.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    Just found some time and switched the ignition back to the old stuff. No change. It was getting a little dark, so I took a flashlight and looked down the carb and the accelerator pump nozzles are not squirting. Bench testing previously, the squirted. Not sure what’s up.

    I’ll give it a try.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    I had time and worked on the truck yesterday. Opened the carb back up. The accelerator pump is squirting. I blew carb cleaner through all the jets. Put the carb back on and once full of fuel it starts right up, but still has the stumble. This thing ran fine before, until the carb clogged. It...

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    Thanks. It’s coming apart again, for sure.

    Edelbrock accelerator pump

    I took my 1406 edelbrock apart to clean it out. Is the accelerator pump usually real hard to press down? I probably still have something clogged. It idles but stumbles when I try to drive it. Or it’s the accelerator pump?

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I cleaned my tank and reinstalled it. It starts up and idles fine. But, hesitates off idle. I’ll have to take the carb off, again.

    I had to Google that. My wife is Gladys and she names everything with G names. The Tahoe is nameless.

    What have you done to your square lately??

    I finally dropped my gas tank today and started cleaning it out. It had about five gallons in it. So, not too heavy.

    Car 4 speed and bench seat? Pics?

    Thanks for the input, guys. I’m thinking the 57 Chevy curled shifter handle would be the way to go. I’ll send a message on the driveshaft.

    Let’s see your memorabilia?!

    I guess this is considered memorabilia. Former NASCAR crew chief and team owner Ray Evernham’s 1/4 panel. It’s hanging on my wall. That’s a chubby face shaggy hair Ray sitting in front of his car.
