Engine Bogging
Hey all need a little help.
I got a 72 C10 with a built 383 Stroker (supposed to be around 425hp), I currently have a 600 holley on it due to gas prices and timing is set at 25 degrees ptdc. The problem is if I try to give it too much gas too fast it bogs and stutters, but if I ease into it it runs just fine. And like all of us hotrodders I want to be able to hammer it down off the line. Not sure if it's not getting enough gas with the smaller carb. I have a 750 dual feed I can put on but if there is anything that I can do with the 600 to have better throttle response I would prefer to keep it on. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks |

Re: Engine Bogging
Ok clarification, the 25 degrees is at idle speed and on my gun it has the degrees on the end of it and is adjustable. So when I have it set at 25 on my gun the line on the balancer is lined up with the 0 on the marker.

Re: Engine Bogging
That is alot of timing at idle. I usually have 8 to 10 at idle with total timing about 36 at 3000 3500. Are you checking it with vacuum advance blocked off?

Re: Engine Bogging
Yes the vacuum is blocked off, I have it at 25 because it idled pretty good at that, if I go below 15 it tries to die on me and the idle is set at 900 rpm right now.

Re: Engine Bogging
Have you had the distributor cap off lately? Kinda sounds like an advance spring might be broken. Is it hard to start when the motor is warm

Re: Engine Bogging
Ok the distributor is pretty much junk, pulled it out and gear is not in the greatest shape and the springs are very loose. Ordered a new dist so hopefully that will help.
