Sounds like a cracked flex plate ... I wouldn't run it anymore untill you figure it out

I run Eibach springs on all four corners and poly bushings in stock control arms in the front and UMI rear upper and lower control arms. Now I am VERY happy with the performace enhancement it has made, it is this way because of lack of cash flow for toys, but eventually it will be all UMI that...

wow thats runs pretty good for a reman engine ... dont know where they come from but I dont think there complete junk. :)

I know this might sound weird but try compression test the cylinder. I had an engine years ago with a broken compression ring and it would foul out the plug about 2-3 weeks.

In the last photo at the base of the carb. in the rear the throttle plate shaft comes out there is a pin in the end of it. From the factory they set it up so when the car is cold and the choke is on the secondaries will not open. Theres linkage to prevent it they tend to get worn out and not...

I agreed with that vid 100%... I thought it was a stupid program, It was a band-aid that hurt the economy now theres a bunch of people with a car payment they cant afford. No offence but instead of whining about having and old money pit of a truck theres all kinds of incentives to buy a...

That is one sweet build makes me regret selling my elky... (that was the deal I made with the woman to buy my ss) however I do know where there is an 86 elky with a 79 nose and someone converted to a 4 speed 8) Awsome build I hope you get more pics and updates soon :D

The reason why nobody makes a gas engine the runs like a diesel is gas burns to quickly and is not efficient. That being said please try to make one that would be cool. Smokey Yunick was a great man. 8)

Is something drawing on the battery that kills it in 5 days?

Welcome to the site. 8) love the story reminds me of my starting out days but instead of engines I was grabbing 79 malibu's had 3 before I could drive. I like that you went a little different route the hood looks good like it belongs and I love tho's wheels. Please feel free to post up some...

Sounds like you've lost some spring pressure in the coil spring for your choke and need to make a slight adjustment to your choke setting.

Have your coolant system pressure checked ... it sounds like a bad head gasket or cracked head (thats my opinion) a pressure check of the coolant system show a loss of pressure on a guage when you let it sit for a moment... the other thing you can try is dont put the radiator cap on all the way...

Pretty funny stuff :D makes ya think tho

first of all I dont think thats to big of a carb all depends on how you drive and set - up how ever if your having a problem with it sticking wide open then you need to address that ASAP BTW heres a CFM calculator http://www.wallaceracing.com/intakecfm.php

You can lock up your converter by jumping the top left port and top right port on your odb plug .... thats what I did with a switch in between .... (I have eliminated all the comp controll parts) so I can still lock up the convert. when I want fuel miles 8)

Runnin a dyno in 2nd gear will give u a false hp at the wheels you need to run 3 for the 1:1 ratio some companies do 2nd gear pulls (like K-N) on my silverado because to show the improvements, A 3rd gear pull will hit the speed limiter before it hits peek hp rpm so thats why they use 2nd gear...

I'm running UMI performance boxed control arms (non adjustable) and I havent put the rear sway bar back in yet cause i wanted to get the UMI 1... Im also running poly bushings and no wheel hop at all. Good bushings and and a rear swaybar will help

I used to run 15x7 with 3.75 backspace with 235/60-15 all the way around on my elky that was slightly lowered without a problem :D

Just for the record I used a jegster cross member in my Elky and it fit just fine... 1 floor jack 1 half inch impact gun and 20 minutes I was done.
