1bbl to 2bbl conv RESULTS
Well, I mentioned on here a while ago about going to a 2 barrel for my inline 6 through the use of a Summit Racing adapter. And the results...
I got the motor to run. I drove it around and right away I could tell, it definetly had power. I only pushed in the accelerator a slight bit and it just opened up and asked to race. I was feeling really good about it. The only negative side was that I could not get the damn thing to idle steady. It wanted to run too lean or too rich. It was really bad in gear and at a complete stop and liekd to overlaod on fuel. This is with a brand new Rochester 2bbl by the way. Anyway, that's it. The one barrel is back on and actually isn't too bad. It turns out the float levels on it were WAY wrong and that's why it kept overloading on gas. Now I'm not afraid to floor the motha'. ![]() ![]() As for the 2bbl, I returned it to Kragen and got credit back for a used one from the scrap yard. As for the adapter... it makes a lovely paper weight. Anybody who'd like to shed some light on the subject of why my 2bbl wouldn't idle right, I'm willing to read lengthy essays. It's not like I have a V8 yet or anything. The 6 pack is still under the hood. And the adapter is right here next to me (holding down papers). ![]() Here's a picture by the way. Hope you like my Kustom throttle linkage ![]() ![]()
