Carb or timing issue?
I have a late 70's SBC in my truck. Just had a new timing chain, new gaskets and mild cam installed. It has an edelbrock performer carb, new plug wires etc, etc. Engine just doesn't seem to have any punch. From an initial stop it doesn't accelerate well. Just from a stop it will pop through the carb. Gradual acceleration is fine, no popping. Just feels flat. Idle is fine in park and in gear, just no power. I'm going to check the timing tonight. Maybe it's out because of the cam break in. Kind of puzzled. Any tips would be great1
I saw last night on fb about John. The world sure lost a great one. I'm going to miss his humor, advice, and perspective from another portion of the world. Rest in Peace Johnboy.
