Default Re: Flathead Running rich(UPDATE)

Hey guys, I wanted to post a quick update on the running rich issues I have been chasing down.

I believe my issue is resolved. Here is what I have done since my last post.

I changed the bent exhaust valve on cylinder #8 and put everything back together with my fuel pump at 2.5 lbs and the issues Charlie found with my carb straightened out.

I was still having backfiring issues on deceleration between gears so I turned my attention to the ignition system. All of the plug wires checked out good so I pulled the distributor and sent it off to Skip to have him go through it. Got it back last week and installed it this morning. My car has never run better!!! No more backfiring on deceleration and plenty of power while driving.

The car used to bog down when I floored the accelerator in 1st gear, now I have good power all the way though all of my gears.

A big thank you to all of you who helped me through this problem!!
