  1. Actually i think it's really doing it now Not consistently, when the engine's cold and i accelerate it cuts out for a second, maybe not a missfire just because the engine's cold? It was about 60 and there was literally condensation on my hood wile i was going 50 lol Maybe this weather plays with the fue air mixture and it misses a little bit? Can someone explain this to me? Anyone else have a rough running engine /almost cutting out missing when it's cold?
  2. lol it probably help me get a job
  3. It can lope at 40mph? I don't have a tach, just a really good ear
  4. No that was before i changed them. Those plugs in those pictures are about 8-10k old. This engine is really sketchy to say the least It's supposedly been "stroked and rebuilt" When i got it it literally burned through 2 quarts on 50 miles I did a head job and rebuilt the carb, and general plugs, plug wires, hoses filters, you know...... logical stuff that needed to be done. He said he had it bored out and stroked and that it was a crate motor or something. He did this like 15k before i had it. I ran the numbers on the block and i couldn't really figure out what the hell i was doing or what they even meant, not to mention i lost the piece of paper i wrote them on. I had absolutely no idea what i was doing when i first got the car lol Not even a clue. I drove like a fool, literally went through a brand new set of fire hawks in 4 months. I didn't get around to checking that plug again but i did get to drive it. It's not missing or hesitating, there's just a 100 rpm drop that happens every 4 or 5 seconds. Idleing, crusing or power braking. I guess there are some things you really can't learn in a book lol. Try looking up carbed 350 mishaps on google, there's about 1.2 billion responses
  5. I'm starting to think it's the humidity mixed with the cold now. When i give it everything it's got it's a monster (chirping gears and everything!) just when it's curusing at 40 as low as it can go and when it's idling it hiccups a little bit, NOTHING like it used to be
  6. I might have to order them online
  7. i put Delco r45t's in there Those are hotter burning plugs than regular delcos correct? I pretty much use delco everything Here's the bad plug and here's what the rest of them looked like all 7 looked like this there was about 8k on these plugs
  8. the plug was gunked up real bad that's why it think it's piston rings
  9. almost like this I drove around for a week with if missing so bad to the point it was dropping 500 rpms ever 4 or 5 seconds. As SOON as i put those plugs in it just purred. I think any slight hiccup from a cold, carbed engine with a cam like that will sound like it's missing a little to a person that's in my situation I'll check it out and take a video tomorrow and you guys can be the judge lol i'm going to bed
  10. With those new plugs in there the car ran like it was brand new. Now for as long as i can remeber theres always been a tiny bit of miss in the idle, i was just wondering if it's the cam. It's a med eldbrock, not sure what exact model but i know for a fact it's no stock cam lol it runs really good compared to wen it was missing. I litterally couldn't powerbrake past 3k without it sputting all over the place. It's the piston rings on the 3rd cylnder, the plug was pretty bad. I'm afraid that it fouled out these ones too but i'm not sure yet. It's burning a quart about every 1000-1200 miles. It never smokes, ever. I think i'm just being paranoid lol
  11. four months ago in sumer heat http://vimeo.com/13215818
  12. Okay so about 3 weeks 600 miles ago, i changed out my plugs because one of them was fouled and it was missing like crazy It's been really cool and humid the last coupe of night here about 65 with 90% humidity. I don't know if it's the cam or if the car is actually missing but something is happening that i don't understand. I looked at videos of it idleing and it seems to be kind of doing the same thing tomorrow when i get up i"m going to check the plug that was fouled"s cynder any ideas? i know the cold will make it idle a little rough< but not completely warm right? it kind of does it when i"m going fourty just a tiny tiny bit too but nothing like it was PS its still burning oil pretty bad lol and i have a lead foot

  14. I'm not going to lie, Having those stock manifolds is like having the Ebola virus ...and actually telling people you have them is like sneezing at the kitchen table
  15. I just saw this guys I found the leak, it's at the third cylinder on the drivers side. When i get around to it i'll take care of it lol I couldn't make it to the Orlando meet How is everyone?
  16. Microsoft power point Go to start,all programs, Microsoft office, Microsoft power point You can just drag and drop the pictures in
  17. Now this was a MC? It's just a couple of tubes, a box and 8 bolts right?
  18. Mines factory air, it's all original excluding drive train
  19. Quick question relating to this.... Yesterday i was vaccuming out the ppassengers side I noticed some small drips of oily antifreeze It looks like it's been doing this for quite some time. We're talking about a table spoon and a half at the very least Heater still works, guessing the hoses are going bad?
  20. It's only when it's completely to floor and its shifting into 2nd It goes into second then goes down 500 rps for a half a second then it goes back to maximum acceleration
