problems accelerating???

Richin that carb up if you can intill you get pipes. What do your plugs look like? White, tan, brown or black? Try to get it brown to black intill you get some exhust.

they were very dark tan last i checked

i gotta get it running good enough before i can go the the exhaust shop and get the pipes welded up.

so, the run on is probably from my fans, because they are hooked up to the ignition on the fuse box

Yep, thats it. I would re-wire them using a relay, you can get automotive relays from radioshack for about 5 bucks and it will be much safer, your pulling too much voltage off your fuse block running fans off of it. You can power the switch for the relay off the fuse block, but run power straight from the battery to the relay for your fan juice and put a fuse in that line also.

Very dark tan is good.

can you find me a diagram of how how it should be wired up correctly? also, what exact relay would i need?

Your dist. set up all wrong form the factory( two heavy silver springs and a red bushing=28 degrees all in at 4000) I just checked out msd website. Change springs to 1 silver(lt) and 1 blue(lt) And change the Bushing to a silver one. This will give you 25 degrees total in the dist all in by 3000rpms. Set timing on the balencer at 11 degrees for a total of 36.

i set it the night i got it

so, get about a 25a relay?

how would i wire it up after that?

[NeCrOmAnCeR]

Heavy wire (10 Ga at least) to battery, through a fuse, to the switched contacts on the relay. Another heavy wire from the other switched contact of the relay to the fan(s). Run a small wire (18 Ga is fine) from a ignition source on the fuse box to your fan switch (or temp switch) then from the switch to the switching contacts on the relayrelay (again 18 Ga). Take another wire from the other switching contacts on the relay and ground it. When the ignition is on, you have power to the switch/relay so it can close (when you choose (switch) or when it needs to (temp switch)). When energized the contacts will close and turn on the fans. When you turn off the ignition the relay opens preventing back voltage from keeping the MSD box turned on. You may also want to put a clamping diode across the switching leads of the relay (if it is not done internally) to prevent any large voltage spikes from being sent back to the ignition terminal.

OPEN HEADERS! Shorty open headers no less, You can't do that. Hope you didn't burn a exhust valve.

He didn't. He would have to run no exaust at all to do that. Theres no revision of cold air going up the header primarys and contacting a valve.

okay, i got it to idle pretty good i think. but i tried to rev it up a little(maybe 3grand) and when i let off, it wanted to die unless i kept my foot on the gas a little
