    Mark, those needles were replaced by ztherapy in 2014. Do you want me to unlock them and change their height?
  4. Johnny wick
    I balanced the carbs on saturday at 2 and 3k rpms with a unisyn. This was checked already
  5. Johnny wick
    We are starting from flush with bridge position and yes both ztherapy.
  6. Johnny wick
    Its up position and them turning them 3.5 turns clockwise each.
  7. Johnny wick
    Let me ger this clear when i mean 3.5 turns clockwise is lowering the nozzle from the bridge 3.5 turns. The standard is 2.5 turns clockwise. At that setting the car has no punch at all even at 3 turns it lacks power.

    This guy posted a video adjusting the floats: Is this the correct way to adjust them? I also have some float synch to perform adjustments.

    Car runs good at 3.5 turns clockwise on both carbs. Timing advanced to 14bdc. Plugs BPR5ES from 6 to 1
  10. Johnny wick
    I think its in 12 btdc. Ill check tomorrow.

    I have always usd 95 non ethanol.

    I tried brand new set of bpr5es at 3 turns clockwise each carb. 2.5 was too sluggish for driving and engine not kept idling steady. Just took a spin around the neighborhood as it started to rain. No good results. Plugs 5, 4 and 2.
  13. Johnny wick
    NGK bp5es or bp6es? Which ones?
  14. Johnny wick
    Ill buy a new set of plugs and report instead of cleaning these ones.
  15. Johnny wick
    Lowered the mixture in both carbs to 2.5 turns clockwise each one. Rear carb was adjusted to 3.5 turns clockwise and front carb to 4 turns clockwise. I have set the idle speed to 1000 rpm. Ill try tomorrow and report. This is how the plugs came out before i dialed both carbs to 2.5 turns:

    Thanks again Gundee. Its totally different car now. WHat about getting a brand new resistor and ignition coil? Cant i just clean and remove the foul with a brass brush?
  17. Johnny wick
    Hi Mark. Ill check on this and revert. How many turns clockwise do you think its enough to avoid the plugs getting fouled?
  18. Johnny wick
    Should i purchase a new 1.5 ohms pertronix coil and get a new resistor from amazon?
  19. Johnny wick
    These plugs are brand new. First time i run the car after thrashing the old ones when i had the coil wrongly connected. You want me to replace them again?
  20. Johnny wick
    I took some pics of the plugs 6, 5, 4, 3 and 2
  21. Johnny wick
    Gundee, You really nail it! Now its totally different. More speed in first gear. Now its a real racing car. Ill check the spark plugs and revert.
  22. Johnny wick
    Ill try it that way and revert. However, what will happen if instead of using this old resistor i get a brand new and a 3 ohms pertronix flamethrower coil? https://www.amazon.com/PerTronix-40611-Flame-Thrower-Volt-Coil/dp/B000N2XOYE/ref=sr_1_1?crid=M47P5T7EGAJ6&keywords=flamethrower+pertronix+3+ohm&qid=1698159850&sprefix=flamethrower+pertro%2Caps%2C161&sr=8-1 Please bear in mind that if i use this 3.0 ohms i will not be able to get an accurate reading in the tachometer.
  23. Johnny wick
    Can you make a drawing or use the pictures i sent you to indicate exactly which wire i need to remove and where should i place it? What type of twin connector? i get lost here, sorry.
  24. Johnny wick
    Minimum 1.5 ohms coil.
