This approval gives you full access to the site, to pictures, and to post, among other things. To be able to enjoy the full potential of the board for you, you need to be fully registered.. and that's easy.. Just send an email to me at jim@trishieldperformance.com and I will verify your registration. This policy will remain in effect indefinitely, as it has completely eliminated the bad actors from our site, who would spam and hack it, once they gained access. Thanks JW

    Got the quick fuel carboretor on and the wiring straight, now the car runs great while the gas is to it but when i stop for at least 30 to 45 seconds the car shuts down but starts right back. What could this be carboretor or electronic. All post will be considered.. thanks tmarchtheman.:Do No:

    Re: carboretor/electronic problem

    The repair shop said they have checked the timing but not the idle speed but I remembered that when i had the engine rebuilted that he had welded the vaccum on the exhaust taking it away for the carboretor and it started making a ticking sound when cranking and afterward it would start it would stop, could this vaccum line coming from the exhaust be the problem. This engine is a 66 buick 425 bored 30 with a quick fuel carb.

    He un hooked the exhaust flap thingy. you need to get a hold of doc or devon. They are very sharp with older things. I'm a 455 man. that tick is exhaust. if i were you i would buy a dial back timing light and vacuum guage. where are you located? I would set timing to 32 total and idle to 700 in gear. and check vacuum
