This is about my new Magical 427 Tall Deck motor. I put on an Edelbrock Performer w/ manual chocke. When I drive the truck (hot or cold) I have to have the choke closed about 1/4 of the way for it to run right.
If not it bogs down. I tested this throughtout a 2 hour drive that ranged in rpm from 500 to 3000.

Barry told me that a 600 cfm carb was too small- is this what he meant?

Also, does anyone know what this motor times out at? I have it at 6* btdc, but the starter drags when the motor is hot.

And on some side info- it ran at 175* all day and didn't leak a drop. The exhaust pipes that Ben threw in and that I stuck on made the truck run quieter than my '99 GMC. I could finally hear my tires hum.

Thanks,
-B.
