Brand and size please. Mine currently has 235/60 15" Goodyear Eagle GT2 rwl with date code of 1997. They look great with no weather checking but are almost 20 years old. These i assume are no longer made as per Discount tire. They suggested either Cooper's or BF Goodrich

Thanks again for your vast knowledge.Yes it is still stock with the PIA Quadrajunk carb(I have 2 of them both rebuilt, that will be for sale) that was rebuilt by an "EXPERT?" if this doesn't fix the problem Eldebrock carb here I come. I have held off on doing this for years but nearing my wits...

Thanks for the help,i found it. I believe there is something you have to unhook to set the timing?

Looked and looked and can't seem t find it. What is the optimum setting for timing? Thanks in advance

Stock carb been rebuilt 4 times by a carb shop, and then a friend gave me his off his 83 Hurst Olds and that one was rebuilt also at another carb shop. Still the same problem I am having now. He switched his out to an Elderbrock intake and 1406 carb and his problems went away. Now in hindsight I...

Don't want to do it and prolly won't but I have spent countless time and several hundred dollars trying too chase this thing.

Thanks,their is more things in the way on this engine that Carter has little liver pills (showing my age aren't I). If that don't work going to try the carb spacer then if that doesn't cure it maybe a Chevy 350,don't want to mess up a beautiful car though.

My friend actually does the work for me ang he said the choke is disconnected. I tried what you guys said on the holding to the floor and that helped. He wants to time it to make sure its not a timing issue. Now the probably stupid ? where is the bolt to loosen the HEI?

Going to use this info and try this week it supposed to warm to the 40's here in Mi. Any other idea's?

The choke is disconnected ,but it did this before and after it was disconnected

no not the choke

Thanks for the replies. Yes its still stock under the hood except for air conditioning compressor. Any other idea's?

I have a 83 Hurst Olds with 307 HO. Problem after I run it for awhile enough to get it hot let it set at a show for a couple of hours and very hard to start. Chugs,coughs ,spits sputters and the like. Carb has been rebuilt 2 times by 2 different professionals. All parts inside distubitor are new...

Took it ba+ck once again. says everything is within parameters. Had me get in the car ,start engine,put brake on,shift into drive. Says my problem is that transmission pulls rpm down 4-450 rpm,says something wrong with transmission? Had it over to Doc Watson's a few days before that. Jason Watson,Doc's...
