believe it or not the olds has 8 seasons on it turning 5000 with just a blue print and balance job.the carbs are edelbrock 750s the intake is a 064 edelbrock dual quad with 2 4 in spacers 4 hole.exhaust is over the transom bassets. spark plugs look good now like i said i had to put a hotter plug in.

the heads are stock ka and the cam is a 496 280 duration. pistons 60 over forged trws.miladon high volume oil pump with a 6 quart oil pan.with 1 carb 750 it turned 5000, with the 2 750s it turns 4800. went 2 stages leaner on both carbs and had to put in 1 stage hotter plugs in..in think its to much for my basic stock set up. but it sure looks good with 2 carbs sitting there.

Here my question, is 2 750 carbs to big for a 10-1 compression 468 ci olds. or will 2 500 carbs work better?

20/50 gastrol . been running that oil for 20 years in my boats chevys and oldmobile motors summer time oil.
I just had my 455 rebuilt. It is .040 Mostly stock other then that. I have run 40w in the past, and was curious what everyone thought about what brand and weight to run.

Sounds like needle and seat might be plugged in one of the carbs allowing fuel to flood engine.

Well come to find out that a big piece of silacon got stuck in the oil pump pick up screen. at idle for 25 mins under the london bridge caused one of the cam bearings to lock up. thats what happens when you use silacon instead of a gasket on the intake manifold!!

« on: June 17, 2009, 06:44:38 PM »
I was wondering if you guys could give me some advise. i have a 468 ci olds thats going on 7 seasons. this year the starter seems to be a little weak when starting. hot or cold. the batterie is fully charged the alternator is 14.2 volts when running. i usually run 10 degrees on timing, to start a little easyer i took 4 degrees out of it!! thats after i took the starter out to have it tested it passed..i also have a ford regulator to help with more amps when starting. engine runs great other then the womp..womp.. when starting..
