302 wont run without gas
ok so i got my new transmission all hooked up today, and so i took the stang for a test drive ran great, turn key starts up drives right off.... so i figured cool, gonna go over to my girlfriends house, i'm driving down the highway, and i start getting some smoke and the engine dies.... i lift up the hood and my starter is on fire.... i put out the fire and put in an old starter and now she wont stay running unless i keep the pedal down, and its getting a squeeling sound from the engine..... temp was low, oil pressure was around 40....
the only things i changed on the motor were a new HEI ignition and a new mini starter that was a pile of crap apparently.... full specs on the motor, 69 302, stock bottom end, mild cam, ported and polished HO cast iron heads, 351 valves, edelbrock airgap intake, edelbrock 1406 650CFM carb w/electric choke... tranny is a c-4 fully rebuilt for racing applications... any ideas?just because your car is faster, doesn't mean i cant outdrive you... give me a curvy mountain road and i'll beat you any day
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.
