[QUOTE]Originally posted by Blown93Snake: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by Martinna: [qb] What's your fuel pressure? Is your coil okay? I've heard of a computer test to check dead cylinders. It runs engine at cruise RPM and shuts off an injector one at a time to see if the RPMs drop. If it shuts of an injector and the RPMs don't drop, that cylinder isn't working. Run all these tests. Hang in there man, the fix is close. [/qb][/QUOTE]FP is right on.. 32/34 ish, spikes to 40 ish vac off.. I have a AFPR mounted to 1/2" CHP fuel rails.. the fpr sits on the booster for the brakes lol. Only place I could fit it.. as you can see in the video.. just kinda worked out. I had an MSD coil on it, and swapped to an accel at the suggestion of a post I found on the corral, and WOW, did the accel put out like 20% more spark it seemed.. it was night and day.. like holy shit, and I already have a 6al in it.. We went through hell adjusting the rockers/valves because of the cam, but finally got it I do believe. I found a valve stem with a groove in it, took it to machine shop, had .010" shaved.. thousandths if I did that wrong, lol.. off bottom.. to flatten it back out. I was told being hydraulic it would adjust and be fine once we did our adjustments again, and it seemed to quiet down once the new lifters pumped up with oil. The balancer has absolutely no marks on it, we had to set tdc, mark with chalk, then we are sorta guessing on 10*... best guess? 1/4"? 1/2"? I've seen anywhere from one to the other depending on the balancer and markings.... I'm going by ear, but this is killing me.. it obviously ran rock solid there.. so wtf are we missing, now? I have 3 sets of plugs here, a plug cleaner (abrasive on a compressor/air tool).. ngk's, I believe a tr6, then autolite 3923 (colder) and 3924 (step warmer).. I have 2 diff dizzys.. the MSD pro billet is a pos. I put a stocker in with a new pip.. pip went bad.. got lifetime warranty one.. already swapped it 3x... Could the msd be smoking the pip?? I have new cap/rotor, wires on way. New ECT. It's throwing zero codes at me. Could too much advance.. timing, simply cause all this?? Driving me NUTS We checked compression and had 150 in all and 145 ish on last one. Well within specs i'd say. We went round and round on adjusting the rockers/valves, and finally got it, i'd say. I used this method.. because of the larger cam and heads/etc. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o4ZNY5a8gD0&t=298s The only thing I would say I did a tiny bit diff, is that I had to rotate those set screws out a bit more, or it wouldn't let me adjust all the way proper. Outside of that, it ran GREAT, as you can see/hear. Now, seems like something simple is beating me :o [/QB][/QUOTE]
