Well, now onto the newest problem... or one I haven't noticed until I quit driving the car so much.
I get back in town and I hopped right in the babybeast. She fired right up but was idling at about 1.9k... if I blip the throttle it settles back to its normal idle... it does this pretty frequently, its just annoying, sometimes it'll do it, sometimes it wont...
next problem.
In all gears at about 3.5-4k the car just won't get out of its own way.
I have the Kent cam a great exhaust system and and K&N's...
I can't seem to figure out what the issue is. I'm guessing a fuel delivery problem. do you think it could be as simple as a fuel pump or a fuel filter, or is it an issue with the carbs.
Lastly, while oiling the carbs yesterday, I realized that both oiling caps didn't come completely out, you can feel one pull the piston deal up or push it down, but it doesn't come out, the otherone however... does. I think its been like this for awhile because last time my dad oiled them he said something about it.
Other than this its running fine, if I could figure these issues out, I could move onto getting my gauge lights working again... and I WOULD BE HAPPY.
Thanks again everyone!
