Been dealing with greg there and so far STAND UP!

Oh fontana village is a decent place to stay

Just watch out for the motorcycles, they get pretty crazy on the tail and dont really care about anyone else!

Got these new triples to replace the ones from the fire, not acting right called and got told " you cant get them set for factory idle of 850 rpm, there after market what did you expect, they have to have a much lower idle" Needless to say that didnt set right so called greg at motorsports and he said BS, we'll get an answer or replace them!! More updates to follow!!!!!!!!

what are you guys using, any brand better than others?

Trust me it will be! Best guess is a carb float stuck??? Dont really know but aint much in that area!

got pretty lucky, fire was centered under the middle carb, like I said only the 2 sensor wires other the the FI harness, quick reactions and a full fire ext at the place I pulled into!

Removing the FI harness after an engine fire but have some questions. At the firewall in the engine bay the massive harness splits off twice, once to the dropping resistors (removing) and agin with 2 wires that go to the batt neg and pos cables, do I have to seperate those from the harness and keep them or do they go also. And I assume that the only thing under the dash that goes is the big plug to the ecu? At the same time it looks like the only other wiring affected (melted) is the wire to the temp sensor in the thermo housing and the wire to the brake proportioning valve sensor, are ther anything special about these wires? Thanks in advance guys!

Wow not to bad mouth a site sponser but $800 more than the avbove two sources!!! whats up with that!

already checked with Racetep and Redlineweber, who would you guys suggest. Gotta replace mine due to an engine fire last week, Thank god for Hagarty Ins.

Well guess things are on a hold now.............Had engine bay fire last night, dont know the extent of the damage yet, have to wait till I get back from the bahamas next week!

Z's sounds like you have about the same setup as mine, I pulled the unilite and went to stockish elect. dizzy trying to isolate some probs. Have you had an issue with spark jumping iside your cap, saw at racetep they said drill acouple holes in the cap! waiting for the carter 4070 fuel pump they recommend to use without a regulator.got a holly red i think the high pressure one but seem to be having loading issues or something, always changing symptoms! might be carb boiling just not sure yet!

Damn and you dont burnt the tips off the plugs? Running the bp6es-11 i think! , dont rember.

ok Lets change the questions, got it hooked and running AND have a good tach signal/reading. But did you increase your plug gap with the msd 6al and get better results???

Did any of you electronic ignition guys use the white trigger wire or the violet and green trigger setup for the dizzy, also where did you pick up your tach signal? Trying to install one this am!

Made buy the same guy that made the 6AL MY AIKEN BUTTTTT!

Thanks guys will do some tweaking AFTER I take back this pro comp box that took a crap after 1 hour run time!!!!!!!

trying to figure out some problems, need some input! Just pulled the mallory unilite dizzy and went back to stock 77 dizzy with vac advance also added msd 6al box( procomp version) have timing set at 12 btdc when reved to 3 G get about 31 btdc (this is with no vacumm on it, ?? Should I hook a vacumm to it and what about straight manifold vac, no other source on trip webers? ) idle set approx 900 rpm Any inputs???

if its the same as 280 you have to remove the tails assembly it holds the plastic on has like six or 8 nuts on the back side!

ok, also the gasket at the front for the air horns, are the air horns supposed to slip thru it, or up againt it or between the air ahorns and gaskets

Jon what would you expect from say astock engine hp wise. just got done retiming and readjusting carbs seems a lot better but who knows what the dyno will show, but hell at 45 dollars apoop for 2 runs that $^!# gets expensive

Hpefully bigger and easier to read

and again!

Gonna try and attach the dyno sheet , dont know if it will work I scanned it, but never had su's on this it was a package deal I bought after the 77's motor got trashed (son). Timing may very well be the problem, found yesterday that the elect fuel pump was out and only the mechanical was working, and it wasnt good , fuel pressure floating between 1.5 and 4 so fixing that first. and moved the timing to 12btdc and see what happens! it was at 22 from PO.

Damn this really sucks, with some of the info in this thread I had to add that these 40's are a PIA to get right, so if you dont have alot of exp with tripples you might wanna look around for someone that does, and GOOD LUCK, it's a dieing art. I have the 40's on my l26, bored 30 mild cam headers exhaust and all, and like everyone is saying, they are alittle rough at low rpms, but smooth at high revs, I have synch and resynch and tried alot of different setups but just dyno'd mine and could only produce 127 max whp and 130 max torque, air to fuel in 12 to 14 range.
