Thread: HELP! Edelbrock 1406 tuning.

Tweet

Had to replace my lifters because one collapsed on me, but it had only about 4 minutes of time running in my car before i was able to park the car and shut it off. I then replaced all the lifters because it only made sense to not throw in one new one and have old ones that had been seated to each other.

That probably was the dumbest thing i did. I should have just replaced one lifter right? No i did not take the camshaft out.

I did reset the timing to 10 degrees btdc. I did this by taking the cap off and bumping the motor over until i could feel the piston at the top in cylinder #1.

I have the valves almost adjusted right now. One of them clacks slightly. I need to go back and re-adjust that one.

I did play with the carburator some, I set it until the exhaust wasn't black anymore. (about 1.5 full rotations of the screws from all the way closed clockwise.) I think I may be running too lean.

Is there anything that I'm doing wrong here?
