well i put a new cam and lifters this past weekend. i soaked the lifters in oil for bout a day. lined the dots up. set the balancer mark at 0, put the dis. in , went to crank it and it was 180* off. turned it around, started rite up. i broke the cam in , got all the rockers adjusted. now some of u might of remember my last thread with the timing, well its the same cam i had in before. the other cam was still good but wanted to be safe and went with a new 1. after geting the cam broken in and everything i went out for a nice long ride. later on the nite i go out to test out the car, it revs up to 7k which is good, and it burns second gear pretty good. runs alot better then last time. but my problem is i still have the hesitation only when i floor it from a dead stop. its a little sluggish in first gear, but once it hits 2nd it flies. i went to go power brake it and it barely did anything, so i know something is rong i just cant figure it out. here is my combo

you need to tune your carb

 

yeh thats what im thinkin, would u know how many turns i would have to turn the screws for the air and fuel mixture?

 

i'd be looking at the accelator pump spring/arm adjustmant and maybe the plastic cam. not sure on the screws, i'm thinking someting like a turn. ask on jesters carb board

 

Yeah, I'm also thinking that the second item in your signature is a problem. Then again, I'm not a big proponent of Holley carbs unless they are the aircraft updraft style. I can make them run, but I just like others better. Gimme an old TheroQuad and I can find some horsepower for you.
