Stoopid question

Oh well.

No it only dose it when idling. If im stoped at a light it idles so rough the whole car sits their shaking. But if i choke it a little then it stops. If its not warmed up it dies if not joked.

Havent done anything but put knew valve cover gasket and tune up. Guess ill start looking for leeks. It runs great when not idling.

How much oil is suposed to be in their anyway?

Bill the dip stick will indicate as stated above.

if the dip stick has no oil on it which wouldn't surpise me given what your saying then top it up and as GnoseZ said if you overfill it just gets burnt up in the motor.

Poor idle is more than likely bad carb adjustment it would be a wise investment to buy the Z SU Therapy video http://www.ztherapy.com/ from personal experience with SU's i read 101 different tips on how to tune them but i was still doing things slightly wrong well my choke set up was wrong.

So a friend of mine showed me how to set them correct and now i know but a video will be just as helpfull a picture is a 1000 words.

Don't forget Bill there is tons of information on this website, always do a search and you will be surpised how much you can gain in knowledge. Sometimes i've found you need to read something more than once to properly understand it.

Just some tips.

it idles kinda rough not to bad just a little bit. It has done this since i got it. Thanks Bill

Billy boy, it might idle rough because the throttle shafts and bushings are worn and you are sucking air past them which messes up the mixture. Got to remember those carbs came off an L24 that had about 178,000 miles on them BEFORE they got installed on the L28 you have in the car now. They need to be rebuilt but I know you're wallet can't handle that at the moment. Save your bucks for some Z Therapy carbs. They'll take yours in as cores.

Z-ya,

Chris
