build thread for 2.8 carb to chevy tbi.

So ive determined 89 octane is best. And that all my problems were timing related. And a broken intermittent connecting tan/blk wire that controlled the timing.

For the old 3 speed not bad at all.

How ever long it's been update...
All is holding together well. I believe that fixing the timing was the last kink in the puzzle. I have more power than I have ever had out of this little motor.

So found out she doesn't like water... Went through a pretty big puddle and either got the dist wet of the ign mod. It's cured it's self. But now I'm look for ways to prevent this.

All of the above hate water. Having water proof wire connectors helps prevent that issue. Personally I never had an issue with water getting to the dizzy. If your going to do it again, have some mud mixed in with it so that you can see what got wet under the hood, that is clean everything first.

I'm leaning toward the ign module on my fender. Cause my tach would idel at 700-800. But the moment you gave the engine a little throttle the tach rose past 8 grand like nothing. So hope I didn't damage any thing to bad. Screwed my fender up with my to big tires.... Time to do some trimming

Neither do I...but the temptation is just to much to pass up sometimes.
