I have a Chevy 283 that came in my 68 Chevy pickup shortbed. Why does it seem like it has no power?
My Chevy C10 shortbed has a 12 bolt rear end geared pretty low. 4.11? I was told by the guy I bought it from that the 283 cci had been rebuilt right before he bought. He only had the truck less than a year and was selling it to me. I have no reason to doubt him, but the 600 Holly, Eldebrock intake, dual exhaust, HEI distributor with racing cam, it just doesn't seem to have any git up and go like it should. At one point, I was talking to Summit Racing tech line about the possibility that someone had put in the wrong torque converter. The tech person at Summit didn't think so. He said since I frequently smelled gas when I pulled in the garage, he thought I should be looking at the 600 Holley as the cause of the problem. He said something about gas leaking into the secondaries and how to close them off. I am not a Carburetor wiz and I couldn't follow his advice. Anything I can do besides save up my money and try a new carb? (Only to find out that may not be the problem?)
I'm curious about a few things.
1) What type of secondarIEs are on the carburetor?
Vacuum or mechanical?
2) Have you checked the basics?
ie; Air filter, fuel filter, ignition timing, engine oil, coolant?
3) How well does it accelerate under moderate (half) throttle?
What happens when you "floor it"? Can you hear the secondaries open up slowly, or do they open up immediately?
