Re: [ihc] Intake manifolds



Guys,
I'm having a weak brain moment for some reason. I have a 345 in my
Travelette that I have never been able to get to run as well as other IH
motors. It always feels choked or something. Based on how it is set
up, it should be a runner. It has an Edelbrock 1405 (stock out of the
box) on a 1" phenolic spacer on top of a square bore manifold.
Pertronix in a Holley Points distributor, matching Pertronix coil, Bosch
platinums gapped at stock gap, 7mm napa wires. 8 degrees BTDC with a
functioning vac advance. Rear dump manifolds, 2 1/4" exhaust to turbo
mufflers, then 2 1/2" tailpipes. 727 and 4:10 gears, LT 265/75R16
tires. Vacuum at about 18mm/hg.
Ed,

Guessing

I think you should check your fuel pumps pressure and volume.

Replace the fuel filter unless you've already done that.

Check the plug wires for even ohm/inch even if the wires look OK. That's a hot coil.

Try the timing at about 12 degrees early. It works for some, but not for me.
