What Did You Do To Your Chevelle Today
I put a spacer between the carb (Edelbrock) and intake due to it flooding sfter start up and smoking .Its been like this ever since we put the new motor in ,hard to crank after sitting for a few minutes and the smell of raw gas out the exhaust .This spacer for whatever reason fixed the problem .

Changed oil to 20w-50. 5 psi at 650rpm when hot anyway....
|
Nothing yet.
But I just finished re-wooding the coilbox in my Model T. :) I'm just about to ready to head out the door, taking the kids for a ride to Grandma's house in it. When I get there, I plan to fix the leaky valve-stem on the '66 Malibu wagon. |

I also replaced the lug nuts on my new Centerline wheels. Summit had sent me the open ended lug nuts when I wanted the closed end ones. I got them last week but just got around to installing them today. |
I had planned on cleaning the El Camino today but its been raining all day not that Im complaining .We really needed the rain although we are having tornado's forming all around us right now and they terrify me.

I also had to put a spacer under my edelbrock 650.
Put the carb on about 2 weeks ago and whenever it would get hot and turned off it seemed like the heat was boiling the fuel. Then when I fired it back up it would spit and sputter for a while. Just got back from taking the wife and kid out to lunch to a local burger joint. We went about 50 miles and it ran great. Runs alot stronger then it did with the Rochester quadra jet on it. I think the air up here is too thin for that carb. Could not get it to run right no matter what we tried. |
I pulled it out and took it for a ride to the gas station. The last time I was out I left it on fumes. The weather was in the 60's and overcast, but boy did the motor love that cool air.

i looked at it :)
