Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: Help Setting Idle on my Holley 750 Please
« on: September 24, 2008, 11:16:03 PM »
With a dual plane and a 454 with a 232 duration cam - you should be able to idle at 700 rpm in the water without issue. Lower duration (actually overlap) and/or more restrictive exhaust will cause it to be able to idle lower.

My 454 in my RV idles at 350 RPM! Of course, by 3500 RPM it's all done due to the lack of camshaft overlap - but put an A4 impellor behind that engine, and it would move anything pretty damn fast I suspect...

Here are my edelbrocks - I took off the straight through risers and put large snails with 4.5 inch pipes on it.

Sweet! I second the thank you of the close up Mopars - Love the NRC heads on one of them...
(it's about 15-20K to put a set of those heads on!)

I had the same problem - it turned out to be the fancy clear glass fuel filter in line. It couldn't keep up with the fuel demands.

Change out the filters with some 3/8ths line ones (fram etc), if you have to look it up find a 70-72 Ford truck with a 460 in it.

What evil could be so hideous that it would turn a man away from Ma Mopar?   I couldn't imagine ever being without at least one.  Sat in an 09 Challenger on Saturday, its not a very big car inside considering the dimensions outside.  Learned that the SRT8 have instrumentation that will give you 0-60 time, eighth and quarter mile time, AND g-forces, plus some other things.  That kinda knowledge could get a guy in trouble  >:D

Do I have to apologize for jacking my own thread?

No, but you have to say hi to my friend Jack. Hi Jack!

DiabloSport has some nasty ass tunes for the new hemis. TONS more power....

I'll keep looking for ya too. You need someone like the guy I bought it off of - didn't know/care/like Mopars and thought the best way to sell the hull was to get rid of the mopar....

I thought the deck highth was measured from crank center to cam center  ???

-beerjet-

The deck is where the head gasket sits.

You are correct about starting the measurement at the crank center, but it is crank center to the deck surface. Taller it is, the longer rod you can use.

Is this where I insert a smart ass comment?

The splaid bolts are stronger  - the best is 90 degree's bolts, but you all don't have a block to bolt that through so the more angle the better...

Cool :-)

Here is how I found mine - I kept searching for boats with a BB Mopar in it. I found one that the guy was selling separate, so I bought the engine for $300. It had the logs, risers, valve covers, and a bunch of other parts (even a custom made baffled 8 qt oil pan and pickup). Unfortunately the mounts were for 23" wide stringers (keep that in mind if you need mounts), mine were 26 inches.

Anyway I have some parts you may need that were left over.... exhaust logs not in that list unfortunately.

The 440's love headers, I've had great luck with the hooker 4-1 with 2 inch primaries (they make em for the motorhomes).

For cam, run the crane .647/.494 with the hi intensity lifters and a Performer . If you can, get some stealth heads.

It will run really good.

Hulls / Re: Same hull different name
« on: September 20, 2008, 08:44:32 AM »
What put an end to that was the US government passed a law that said if you splashed a hull and sold it, the the original designer/MFG/Legal owner was legally entitled to ALL proceeds from the sale of that hull. Most boat hull shops took themselves out of business rather than face millions in back payments.

In reality, a good law. Spending $$$ to develop a hull then have someone else copy, sell it and get the profits isn't right.

Engine Mechanical / Electrical / Re: solid cam vs hydraulic
« on: September 17, 2008, 12:22:12 AM »
In the old days I would agree - however with the issues with the lack of zinc and other essential additives that allow a flat tappet cam to survive, I won't build an engine nowadays without a roller cam in it. You can do a mild hyd roller cam, not beat up parts, and not worry about the cam going flat.

Hey Guys,

Any tricks on setting the idle on my Holley 750? I just got it rebuilt and first time out, I had to set the Primary Idle Screw quite a ways down to get it to idle. Anything below 1000 RPM or so and it shook and didnt like it much. I didnt mess much with the idle mixture screws in fear of jacking something up. Any clues to get her dialed in? Whats my ideal idle with the 454, in the water with the drag from the pump? I dont think I can adjust it out of the water cause its just gonna change once I splash it right? Thanks!

Chris

Sorry I'm late to the game, been pretty busy of late. You have to play with the idle speed and the mixture screws optimizing one usually makes the other one need adjustment. You use the vaccum gauge on manifold (anywhere under the throttle plates), your jet in the water. I usually tie mine to the dock so I can play without going anywhere. I think everyone mostly covered it, but at the end of the day, you want the RPM set to where you want it, pulling the highest vaccum reading. The holley book says you want the mixture screws 1.5 turns out - I find if the main jetting is correct, you want closer to .75 to 1 turns out. If it is too far open, the idle screws will have no effect, and you need to bump the secondary idle set screw a little bit to get the primary idles working. I like to have about .003 showing of the secondary transfer slot.


I personally like my idle low so it can idle out of the docks without feeling like I'm gonna hit something. My engine idles at 700 rpm with a 246 @ .050 duration cam. I have a hand throttle, so I can bump it up when cold.

Wouldn't this have been better suited for the "Jet Pumps" section of SoCal. ;)


Why do you necessarily want to go with the same impeller cut? I'm going to assume A cut. How much HP is the engine? A different cut "might" help it out a lot. Especially, if you don't have a lot of HP.

Good luck. :)

Yep - I was in the read posts since last visit mode, and it put it here.. My bad... Maybe Brad can move if needed.

I have an A cut now - and my pump isn't tight, but it isn't really worn out either. I just rebuilt it so it has a new wear ring and seals, but there is a tad bit of clearance where a stuffer would go and the impeller isn't as tight as a new one would be.

In the future, I'll probably rebuild it and go through it - but I need to know the cost performance ratio. I'd hate to spend a grand on going 1 MPH faster.

I have a 100 mile rule. If it ain't cought 100 miles of where you are, don't eat it.
