I am in the process of tuning my carbs. I had been dealing with some significant rich running issues that I posted in a previous post. That issue is resolved. Now, I am able to drive the car however it seems to hesitate at cruising speeds (2500k rpm). Idle seems a little rough.
I am a novice at reading spark plugs. I am looking for opinions on this plug. The other plugs look the same except the white on the electrode only goes a little past the curve. I should note that the timing was a bit too advance and has been dialed back a slight bit. My guess- little too rich, too hot of spark plug and timing too advanced. Setup info- Dual weber 40 idf- recently sync'd idle jet- 60 mains-145 air correction jets- 200 emulsion tubes- f11 vents 32 Spark Plugs- NGK BP7ES Engine- 2.27l I should also note that I have a lot of spark plugs laying around. Doe anybody know if a NGK BP8ES is hotter old colder than BP7ES (think its colder). Attached thumbnail(s) Attached image(s) |

I realize that it may sound dumb that I am asking what I should change if I am to lean. The reason that I said that was because I am already at an idle jet of 60 which I thought was getting on the high side. I wasn't sure if I should make a different change first- such as mains (doesn't make sense to me that mains would help much).
Any opinions on whether the NGK BP7ES are the correct plugs or not? |
