    Carb, Ignition, Timing Issue?

    '69 302, Holley TA 470, Performer intake, Cardone Electronic Dist & 4-Pin Module After sitting for several months started it up and had issues, flooding.

    Spindle Bearing/seal kit, which order for install?

    I’ve been following this discussion and have a question. I had downloaded the spicer d44 manual that someone had previously posted on this site. Figure 35 in the manual shows this seal (#4) being installed by hand on the stub staff and states “the lip of the seal is to be directed towards the...

    Heater Hose Question

    The heater in your Bronco is obviously older but Amazon sells one called Zerostart 3308003. Has an 120v electrical plug.

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    I assume you are talking about the secondary springs. I tried the purple spring (mid range) it seemed better so went further and installed the white spring (lightest) and it seemed better yet. But still needs some more adjustments. I think it's still lean. Agree with only changing one thing...

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    I did blow out all the passages in the metering blocks with carb cleaner but did not shake them or listen for any rattling. Will have to do that. Seems like my cruise mix is ok maybe a little lean. Plugs are ashen grey to light reddish brown. Checked them after my trip to emissions. My CO and...

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    I think my plugs wires are good. Just an 8mm parts store “SuperMag” plug wire. They ohm'd out from just over 1000 up to 1380. However my coil wire might be an issue. It ohm'd at 7350.

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    Mine is a ‘69. Not much as far as original smog equipment. I have added a vent from the gas tank to a charcoal filer from a newer Ford Ranger PU and vented that to the open element air filter housing. They put it on rollers, hook up hoses to the exhaust (I have dual exhaust), run it up to...

    Passed Emissions!!! Ran best with the following settings: Timing at 12-14 btdc Primary jets - 55 Power valve - 7.5 Discharge Nozzle - 28 Accelerator pump cam - orange Idle - 750 Vacuum - 18.5 Runs good at light throttle but definitely needs a lot more carb tuning.

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    Rusty - holds a little over 18 pretty steady on the vac gauge. Not rock steady but doesn't vary even a quarter point. I think I've got a 185 t-stat in there. Reads about 195 on the factory gauge. Been a while since I've checked it with an infrared temp gun shooting the t-stat housing. I think...

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    MS73 - I'll have to check again on the transfer slots but I'm pretty sure they were square. I think my mechanical advance is about 25 so that puts me at about 45 total with 20 initial which is kind of high. Guess I'll have to mess with that some more. My main goal right now is to get it running...

    T/A470 Tuning Advice

    Rustytruck - is that emissions testing in CA or AZ. I don't remember them ever checking timing down in Tucson. I think they put it on the rollers and sniff the exhaust and at idle and 50mph? I hope what you describe is not the procedure here in the PHX area or I've got more work to do. MS73...
