390 runs like a pig HELP!
I have a rebuilt 390 That does not run strong/pull any help would be appreciated this is were I'm at bore is .080 Silv-o-lite pistons PN# 1138 Comp.Height 1.66 compression ratio(s) 10.3 crane cam 941 Edelbrock performer manifold holley 650 DP headers Mallory unilite dist. At 750 rpm idle vacuums 14 Compression tested 140 low 150 high my question is that enough compression? also if not what is the best way to raise compression?
Welcome to CHR. I think that you need to hook up your vacuum advance. At part throttle when cruising you have less air and fuel in each cylinder, and the air-fuel mixture is not as densely packed...
