Default Re: 8BA doesnt have power

Mart, the carb base doesnt have the valve. the ball in the accel pump is free. when I timed the engine with the vac advance plugged then unplug it the timing does change so the pull off does work. video is not clear but it squirts two nice sprays of fuel.

Gene, a bit of a purist if I can make it work. i know it can run with stock parts well and want to do this first. I have a holley 390 and edelbrock intake but just wanted to keep it stock for now. I want to channel Tubman and drive it stock for the next 31 years if I want to and upgrade it if I want to, not because I had too.

Thanks for the comments. I might just get Bubba and Charlie involved. sometimes you need to go to a higher authority. God Bless
