hey guys,,

I just swapped out my edelbrock airgap intake for a weiand stealth and it seems to be worse not better. Should it be this way? I thought that I would see some low end gains from the stealth and gain the hood clearance. I got it installed and put everything back to how it was and found that it is worse... So i figured some things needed to be tweaked a little. I reset the idle mixture screws on my carb for maximum idle and got the timing set again. Still seems to be really sluggish on the low end. When i get moving (finally) it seems to be alright like when I am going 60+ mph. On top of all that my exhaust is much quieter.

Does all this seem right?

thanks,

Ben

 

might want to play with the timing, i like the weiand intakes, have used several on differant SBCs i've done.

 

hrm,

I can't figure it out. I have had the timing all over the place. It dosn't seem to get better. How many degrees to you recommend I advance it?

Whats the part #s on both the intake manifolds?

 

stealth = summit part # WND-8016
air gap = summit part # EDL-2601

i'd shoot for 34 to 38 total

 

damnit, i knew I should have got the dial timing light instead of this damned cheap one, at the time i thought this one was better. /me kicks self in head
