last time....
The engine was topping out at about 5000 RPM. This is what is supposed to be in the carb Original Settings Choke 27mm Aux Vin 4.5 Main Jet 1.05 Idle Jet 0.50 Air Idle 1.45 Emulsion Tube F1 Air Corr 2.00 Acc Pump 0.50 Needle valve 1.75 What I found: Choke 32mm Aux Vin 4.5 Main Jet 1.05 Idle Jet 0.60 Air Idle 1.80 Emulsion Tube F1 Air Corr 2.00 Acc Pump 0.50 Needle valve 1.75 Hmmm. Maybe this is why I couldn't get it to idle worth a crap. It's jetted for a 2.2S. Soooooo, now it is much more closely jetted. OMG!!! This thing pulls like a rocket! I gave a late Mustang a run for his money. Now the tranny linkage is adjusted right (Physcian heal thyself!). This MOFO is amazing. And there is more torque than the clutch can handle. It still has some oil from the previous engine. Around 4000-5000 rpm at WOT in the upper gears, the clutch will slip. Guess I'm doing the clutch tomrrow. I think I need to buy a G meter or maybe take the car out for a dyno run. But I am guessing the 210 HP number is correct, at least. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/wacko.gif) |

James, I had that slipping clutch symtom at max throttle once. Turned out that the throttle cable was twisted around the clutch cable in the tunnel. Max throttle yanked on the clutch cable enough to get partial release. Might look before changing the clutch (assuming cables have been unhooked from the cluster recently).

Nah. The clutch was soaked in oil prior to the rebuild. I should have changed the clutch before...
