Ok I have two quetions here
1. I just pulled a spark plug out today to get a part number off of it and called part stores to see if they had that part. None did so i asked to cross reference some came up. So i go to the store and they handed me autolites(i dont think so). So I said how bout r44ts or r45ts(ac delco numbers) started to examine new and old and the new ones are short shank and the old are long is there a reason i should or shouldnt run one or the other. I mean the long shank never hit my piston or nothing so would it be better to get the spark as close to the piston as possible? Oh the long shank is a NGK part that came up as a racing app.
2. I was considering going back to q-jet over my proform carb. My proform is a 950 way to big. and I really am not into holleys(style) carbs but i never really owned a motor as the one that I have so would i be able to make good power on the street and the strip with the q-jet. I tried one on this motor once with no mods done and it had a mid range cruise speed lean miss although i did change jets and needles nothing better nothing worse came of it. Now i know if you pull the float cover off there are two spots that you can drill for mid range fuel flow. Will this help? I wanna get away from my holley
I hope this makes sense!!!
