The bolt is next to the distributor hold down...not a dumb question, the only dumb qustion is the question not asked.....If I missed it or not, you have a temp gauge and if so is it working good? Sounds like a timing issue to me, but you might be running hot as well...sonseeker said: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?

That was a ( bad ) joke right? Putting in a Chubby engine in a Hurst Olds is about as lame as it gets but to do so over a tuning issue is about the dumbest thing I've ever heard. Like the Chevy engine will somehow magically run great with the same broken/incorrectly tuned parts. C'mon man, you gotta be smarter than that.
