I am back with the same old problem.My 77 camaro still runs rich at idle and fouls plugs.I have everything new now and it still has the same problem.New dist,cap,rotor,wires,coil,fuel pump,750 quickfuel carb.It seems to run alittle lean at wide open throttle but fouls the plugs at idle.I even went with a hotter plug which lasted longer but still fouled over time.Im running a 355 with 11:1 doomed pistons with iron eagle platinum 200cc runner with 64cc chambers.An erson 250/258@.050 with 565 lift and 109 lsa,vic jr intake.The quickfuel carb has interchangable idle air bleeds so I was thinking I could put bigger air bleed jets in to see if that helps and if not maybe restrict the idle feed to take some fuel away at idle.But I have tried 4 different carbs and they all did the same thing no matter where the idle mixture screws were set at or were the timing was at.I think this is going to be the death of me I cant keep putting plugs in this damn thing.Will an MSD box help with fouling plugs at idle?I have checked for vacuum leaks but have found none.If anything its leaking from the bottom of the intake but I put a new intake gasket on just to check and it looked like the old gasket was sealing good just from looking at it.
Another strange thing is all of my plugs have oil all over the threads,pretty heavy.Could I have oil getting into the cylinders somehow and that be the cause of the fouled plugs?The plugs dont look to have oil on the tips but they are to black to say for sure one or two look alittle shinny.Some of you may remember I was the one who had oil running down some of the valve stems out the exhaust.I pushed the seals back down but havent rechecked them yet.I have only had it at the track once,8.12@86mph.I might have oil seeping into every cylinder and not even know it.Does any one have any hints after what all i wrote about my problem?The plugs I run are ac r45 ts,dart says to run r44ts if that matters.Thanks
