    Idle RPM goes up and down.

    My timing is set at 35. Specs say between 34 and 36. So today I ran the intake vacuum to the distributor timing advance, it was originally set from the carb block. This made a huge difference, idling much better and driving under throttle seems slightly stronger now as well. After I switched it...

    Idle RPM goes up and down.

    I know I’m already lacking in vacuum and the brakes run off my power steering but the only vacuum line to the carburetor is from my pcv on the valve cover. I was going to add a primary from the intake manifold today and see what changes I get. Could this be my issue? When I’m on the accelerator...

    Idle RPM goes up and down.

    Hello, the engine was fully built and installed when I bought it. I just had to finish the accessories and miscellaneous parts on the truck. I do have all the paperwork though. The cam is 224/236@050 .554/.554. Carburetor is a Quick fuel technology. MSD ignition.

    Idle RPM goes up and down.

    Hello, I have a 383 Stroker, Carburetor and MSD ignition that runs strong. I’m getting a variation in idle speed though. I’ll dial in the idle speed and then it will start to drop for some reason. Main vacuum at this point is from my PCV, I’m going to add another vacuum line to my carburetor...

    AC cycling Switch

    Also my fans are always on, I have 2 electric fans. Also all the PCM’s are removed from this truck. It’s basically like a 1969 Chevy. I have a 383 carbureted engine run by a MSD ignition and a small drive system for the cab that runs my instrumentation.

    AC cycling Switch

    Hello, well I got the AC blowing ice cold and working but have 2 issues. First I pretty much know how to fix and figure out, the fan blows mostly through the defrost vent. I’m getting about 30% through the cab vents but the cab is still cold. Second issue is I did have to install a solenoid to...

    Wheel opinions?

    Looks good with the color of the truck. Like to see with tires on it.

    Ride height question

    I went with Good Year RSA 265/60R17. Zero rub. Could have maybe went to 265/65 but I’m happy with the change.

    AC cycling Switch

    How would I do that? Trinary switch? I was wondering if my fans will turn on when the compressor turns on too. I have 2 electric fans.

    AC cycling Switch

    I’m guessing it’s wired close to what AK49 was explaining to me, hopefully anyway. Looks like wires go from the controls to the fuse box.

    AC cycling Switch

    Idle kick? I’ve never seen that with a carburetor. I do still have the original fuse box under the hood but that’s about all that’s left but most of the fuses in it have been removed. I have a system under my dash that controls most accessories but had nothing for AC. I pulled it out tonight to...

    Thank you for the help. I’m going to expose the wires and trace them.

    AC cycling Switch

    Thank you. Just to double check because the lines are just hanging right now. I connect to the sensors on the manifold above the compressor from the accumulator? I don’t have to connect to the other high pressure sensor on the back of the actual compressor? Sorry AC is out of my wheelhouse.
