HEI or Points? Use the timing light to find which cylinder is not firing, then swap a wire to see if that changes anything.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

How are the plugs? Right gap, fouled out, still sounds like timing to me.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

sounds like timing to me too. do you have a holley carb? could be a power valve issue

Its been a while since i contacted him....but i agree its your timing..move your dizzy around ...what exactly is it doing?have you checked compression? I had the same problem with my 350..timing was dead on but i had a cracked valve...motor had a cam and other goodies that it ran but had no power...

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

it an HEI ... i just changed everything and adjust the time and now im changing the intake gasket then going from there you can heard a leak from it .. then going to set the timing again its Cylinder 2 thats not working

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I'm having similar troubles with mine. About two months or so ago I replaced the fuel pump, carb (Edelbrock 1405), fuel filter and air cleaner, plugs, wires, cap/rotor. Ran solid after up until about a week ago. Rough idle when in drive/reverse (running right around 650 rpm in drive). Sluggish acceleration but once going it runs strong.

I replaced the fuel filter but no change. Pulled the idle screws and blew everything out but I'm thinking I'm going to have to pull the carb apart and clean it completely out. I can't find any vacuum leaks.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Thats a timing issue. Could be your vacuum advance. I had to go with an adjustable vacuum advance to correct my timing issues.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

It's possible that either the cam and crank gears are not lined up, dot to dot or the distributor gear is off the cam gear by a tooth. Just a thought(s)

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Can any of you guys recommend a good engine machine shop in the North Orange County area? I'm in Old Towne Orange. Pulling my engine today and plan to rebuild within the next few weeks. I have my own machine shop but my mill is too small or I would do it myself.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

If you got the money go to orange engine rebuilding in anacrime I mean Anaheim...There's Valenzuela's on Batavia...I have used them before...most of my motors I take to an old school machine shop on cypress st. If you don't mind waiting a while john hollins knows his stuff but he is an older fellow and takes his time since he's a one man show.. @ hollins machine shop.

Andy sorry to see some knuckleheads messed with your truck.

Randy were here, and yes it has been quiet up in here. When is the Pomona Swapmeet? If its this Sunday I cant make it.

The San Diego cruise showed me that I need to change and fix a few things on my truck. So I might be a bit cruise shy for now. LOL

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I know it's not considered So. cal, but how many members hail from Bakersfield?

Re : Baker'sPatch , Ca.
 

I don't but I still like Buck Owens a great deal ! :metal: .

I rather like much of Bakersfield too , remember the short lived TV Show Bakerield P.D. ? .

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

We call it SoCal Checking in, but if you start at the first page, you will see members from all over Cali and other states. This is how we all met. The members in Fresno, A****er, Sactown, AZ, Utah, Nevada, etc, we met here.

Im sure there are a few near you. Search this post because everyone does not check in all the time. Even though your in Bakersfield, your part of SoCal.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

I'm from Nor Cal and I still check in, also a lot of members haven't found this part of the forum yet...

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Who's going to the Vista Rod Run Sun Aug 4th? It is a small town show but always a good time.

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Hey Randy, whats going on? Are you planning a cruise? Or need help with your truck? You know were down for a drive if you need help. :metal:

Re: SoCal checkin' in
 

Just gettin' ready to cut -n- buff my truck and I am scared to death. I need to try and get my paint to look as close to the paint on the prom queen as I can...real slick.

A cruise? I'm up for a cruise.
