Lee H · 07-07-2013, 02:42 PM

HEI or Points? Use the timing light to find which cylinder is not firing, then swap a wire to see if that changes anything.

How are the plugs? Right gap, fouled out, still sounds like timing to me.

hopped up · 07-07-2013, 03:31 PM

sounds like timing to me too. do you have a holley carb? could be a power valve issue

jserrato714 · 07-07-2013, 09:14 PM

Its been a while since i contacted him....but i agree its your timing..move your dizzy around ...what exactly is it doing?have you checked compression? I had the same problem with my 350..timing was dead on but i had a cracked valve...motor had a cam and other goodies that it ran but had no power...

69Rumbler · 07-08-2013, 02:45 PM

it an HEI ... i just changed everything and adjust the time and now im changing the intake gasket then going from there you can heard a leak from it .. then going to set the timing again its Cylinder 2 thats not working

C0UCH · 07-12-2013, 03:26 PM

I'm having similar troubles with mine. About two months or so ago I replaced the fuel pump, carb (Edelbrock 1405), fuel filter and air cleaner, plugs, wires, cap/rotor. Ran solid after up until about a week ago. Rough idle when in drive/reverse (running right around 650 rpm in drive). Sluggish acceleration but once going it runs strong.

I replaced the fuel filter but no change. Pulled the idle screws and blew everything out but I'm thinking I'm going to have to pull the carb apart and clean it completely out. I can't find any vacuum leaks.

Thats a timing issue. Could be your vacuum advance. I had to go with an adjustable vacuum advance to correct my timing issues.

Nitroblood · 07-16-2013, 02:55 AM

It's possible that either the cam and crank gears are not lined up, dot to dot or the distributor gear is off the cam gear by a tooth. Just a thought(s)
