Re: 1970 Chevelle SS 454 LS6 Rebuild + Details
Finally Broke the engine in today.
Here is a link to a Youtube Video. http://youtu.be/CwF3X3y6qcs The video shows the car at 2000 Rpm at the 15 minute mark of the 20 minute break in, all good + no leaks to be found. The valves were adjusted one more time,spark plugs were all checked and are all clean. Exhaust is next and a tune up will be done after the exhaust is completed. The guy that appears in the video is Gus who re-built the motor. Only have one problem as the carb will not keep idle, what do you guys think it is? Maybe the idle circuit needs to be looked at or maybe a vacuum leak? After i do the Exhaust i will check for vacuum leaks and if i can not find anything then i will take the carb off and have it checked. The car is drivable but i have to keep the idle at about 1500 to 1800 Rpm so it does not shut off.

The thing sound's good. I would stop the playing around and send the carb to Eric of Vintage Musclecar Parts. He is the best.
