Thread: Mechanical secondaries question, 305 sbc

Tweet

1982 camaro, 1983 305 motor and 700r auto trans, as far as i know stock converter, rear end is stock, but not for the motor and trans (3.08 airplane gears in it, supposed to be something like 3.55 or 3.73 i think) as far as i know, the car has an edelprock performer intake with stock cy. heads (heads never confirmed), shorty headers, the aforementioned carb, bought it like this but never got around to tuning it

i was going to have my mechanic tune it but im running a tight budget now for college so im doing it myself

as for the secondaries, i would never have known they were vaccume, i just assumed... shows how little i pay attention

anyways i posted before about the carb running a bit rich but after slighly advancing the timing and moving the vaccume line from the part time to the full time vaccume fitting (driver's side) it seemed to fix that problem, but i still have the boging down at over-half-throttle
