Great vlog randy good to see that big smile on your face pal all the hard work paying off the car sounds great as you say the carbs can be a nightmare to setup looking forward to the next vlog
You need to put a vacuum gauge next to your A/F gauge. That way you can see the exact correlation of A/F changes and 'load' at the base of the carbs And you'll be able to see exactly when the metering events take place.
I got the linkage kit from Summit. Was like $14. The pedal is a lever design. It came with the car. It attaches via bent aluminum brake line and assorted fittings to the linkage.
I missed the fun run registration before it sold out, but I did enter the burnout competition so I can at least have my car in the pits like last year. I have to be approved for that though, so I may or may not be there with the car.
So many people say that, but I haven't noticed the difference. I don't see, in terms of physics, how it would be any different, under the carbs, that a larger displacement engine.
Alright, I'm no fan of NASCAR, but this is kinda cool. Properly, seriously cool. If I was asked to do a project like this, I'd do it on a Lumina NASCAR with a paintjob that wasn't as recognizable (Or preferebly, just plain jane white). Then I'd drop a 366 cubic inch V8 in there and repaint it to resemble the "Rainbow Warrior" Jeff Gordon (Along with a printed image of Jessica Rabbit and one of those JBL Speakers, so I can show up playing White Zombie or some thing to that effect).
Randy, what ratio are you running on the blower? Top Pulley teeth = ? Bottom pulley teeth = ?. I just picked up my blower and I want to get some feedback on amount over\under drive on your small block.
@@RightTurnRandy seems to run a bit lean at the moment you step on the gas, the supercharger produce too much vacuum when you accelerate.. search vor boost reference modifications on your carb..
@@the350v8 Carter style carbs don't need that. The lean spot is a combination of the secondary air valves not opening at the right time and the step up springs being too soft. I could tune it out, but it's gonna be a lot of work for that little hiccup. I probably will eventually.
Wait wait wait. You are using an AVS2 carburetor with a supercharger? I just want a clear answer before I memorize this video. I was told you had to get a blow through carburetor for a supercharger.
For a turbo, you would need a blow through carburetor since it pressurizes the entire airstream. All a supercharger does is draw more air than the engine would normally. The only issue I've had so far is the normal step up springs aren't quite strong enough to quickly lift the needles upon off idle acceleration. Yes, they are AVS2 carburetors and they work great. If I got the right step up springs and tuned the air valves properly they would be perfect.
It's a Weiand 6-71. There's a video of the whole install. Everything done to this car is on the channel. It's not super noisy. Some guys have timing gear sets that are gear driven, super noisy. You can hear the supercharger, but it's not grating and certainly not louder than the exhaust. I personally love how it sounds.
@@RightTurnRandy ya , I have a Pete Jackson gear drive in my 64 el camino sbc , but am thinking of building a low budget 350 with a blower and love that whiney noise , thanks for the quick response and kool car you have there.
If you change de Power Valve sinal, like people do in Holley carbs, maybe you a better ajustment from the Springs? Sorry my english is terrible...... Hugs from Brasil!!!
Thank you for the suggestion! Edelbrock carburetors do not have power valves. I can find custom springs if I really need them. The car is running very well at the moment.
@@RightTurnRandy but the metering rods had a vacuum signal Just like a Power Valve in the Holley, change This signal can be better? That what I mean, again Sorry my terrible english, and you car really looks awesome!!
@@vitorcruz9586 Thank you so much. I can't adjust the amount of vacuum the springs see without modifying the Carburetor body. I'm not confident enough to engineer something like that. What you are suggesting is a very good idea. To reduce overall vacuum for just the springs would be an excellent solution. I don't believe it can be done easily. Your English is quite good.
@@RightTurnRandy I have a plan to change This vaccum signal, a carb spacer with holes and a hose conecting in the intake, that way you don t need to change anything in the carburetor, Just isolating the vaccum signal between carburetor and blower!! I never try This, but in theory is perfect, in the Future I in tend to blown my Brazilian version of the Ford galaxie 500, with 302 small block Ford and edelbrock avs2 carb, Just like you!! But supercharging an v8 in Brazil is not easy and accessible like in USA.... Unfortunetly
You never even pulled a spark plug to see how it is really burning the fuel. If you ran it too lean to long there will be aluminum particles in the spark plug...UM NOT GOOD...
