The Stovebolt Site Forums The Shop Area Engine Shop 235 finally running right

After putting it back together and it wanting to idle at about 3k I finally got somehelp from the carb guy I found that the intake manifold wasnt flush with the head and all the air was coming in there, after a quick adjustment and a new set of intake/exhaust gaskets it runs fine, so all I have to do now is have the carb guy adjust my carbs, I've been trying for a few days and just cant get it straight, anyway thanks for all the help guys

Don't you just love it when a plan comes together:).

Yeah after about 2 weeks of headaches and the car being ripped apart all winter, anyway the carb guy needs to rip into one of my carters and after that he says everything will be running perfect, the idle is messed up on the one carb, he said something is blocking a passage in the carb

Any luck yet finding an air cleaner to fit?I ve been useing a 3 inch and cuting em in half.You can always trade me for a stock manifold and cleaner...

I am going to go with 2 stock aircleaners, they both kind of angle fwd, the front one is going to hit just slightly but overall it will work, I am trying to figure out how I am going to mount them underneath, I am sure this makes no sense, I will post a pick of the setup once I get it done.

Both aircleaners are factory 58 biscayne 235 aircleaners if theat helps at all

here is a link to the type of filters I am using
