289 Hesitation
You guys did such a great job helping me on my holley, maybe you can answer this.
I have a 68-289. Mild cam, Edelbrock RPM intake, Holley 600cfm, headers to Flowmasters.
Problem is the hesitaion off the line. I can't even spin tire !!! This should be lighting them up. Once it gets past that point it takes off like a rocket.
Timing is set to 6 BTDC, Mixure is set with vacuum, Plugs look great. New cap, rotor, plugs and just rebuilt the carb and new air filter.
Transmission over-revs from second to third. (wondering if it's the tranny)
Any ideas? What am I forgetting?
John's ride to the cemetery, his beloved Billings OK bus, The Baby Elephant!! Traveling in style!! As his service was starting I couldn't figure out what the music was, heavy on a flute in a jaunty...
