[QUOTE="customcj7, post: 661545, member: 3103"] Well that could be part of the problem. When it would overheat in a few minutes, this was all sitting in the garage. There was no chance I was going to road test it when it overheated so fast. So I never really got to see how it truly ran under load. It was only revving the engine to about 3500-4000rpm. And what I thought was the carb giving me issues when I did it could have easily been it falling on it's face. There are so many items that were upgraded and changed with this tune-up that it's really hard to pinpoint one or the other, thus my problem. And it sure as hell won't run a 12s quater mile on a good day, more like 30s quarter mile. And I sure don't know what is up with the timing issue, but I only changed the timing and I saw a huge temp difference on the last "tweak". Gotta be something funky in there. Hell if I know for sure.
