Yes, me again with another issue with my newly overhauled 460. I didn't realize that I needed to be an automotive engineer to get all this stuff to work! I don't know that I'd do this over if I knew about all the hassles.
Car starts and runs great except when hot and sits for 15 min or so. Starting it takes quite a few cranks and when it fires, it seems to be running on two cylinders. I have to baby the gas pedal and get the rpm up to about 2500 for about 5 secs, then it runs fine.
I used a laser temp gauge on the Edelbrock 2166 manifold, right below the carb is about 204, and the Edelbrock 1406 carb right above the phenolic spacer is about 185 degrees.
The engine shop says I need to trash the Edelbrock and put a Holley on there.
What do you guys think?
