Thread: Engine running trouble with Chevy 350

Tweet

I am using a magneto signal converter. It has been hooked up this way from the day one. Here is a diagram showing exactly how I have it connected. https://www.autometer.com/download_instruction/753A.pdf

This issue is so strange. Now you got me thinking that its the carb again. I need to replace it anyway. I am thinking about installing the Edelbrock (Carter AFB type) carb, not too sure what size yet, maybe 750cfm. I might even get rid of the mag too. Maybe an HEI or MSD to replace it. I would eventually like to install the Edelbrock top end performance kit so I wanna make sure that I purchase the right carb as it is not included in the kit.

750 is too big unless you have the cam and heads to support it. Put a new power valve in the DP and a blow out protection kit along with it and it'll probably solve your problems or put a 750 Eddy on it and create more.

I'll see if I can't pick up some power valves tomorrow and 2 blowout kits. I work right next to a speed shop so I'll head over there tomorrow.

Thanks for the advice from everyone. I'll let you guys know how I make out.
