I'm having serious problems and I'm desperate for help. I have a racing 306 motor ready to go(or should be), but when I go to start it, it red-lines and comes back down to try to idle, but dies. If I try to feather it to keep it running, it red lines. When it finally does idle, it is very erratic and only idles for a minute before it dies. I'm running a DSS-built bullit 306 with Edelbrock RPM intake w/ phoenolic spacer, 70 mm throttle body, Canfield stage III heads, C&L 70mm Mass Airflow Sensor with the 30# tube installed, Vortec fuel pressure regulator(42 psi) on stock fuel rails, Comp Cams racing cam, 190lph fuel pump, 30 lb. injectors, Crane Cams ignition (acts the same when running stock ignition), Anderson Ford PMS, (acts the same when pms is unplugged), and a MSD billet distributor. Timing is set at 14 deg. I wanna say we tried everything. With an electrician in the family, I am positive we are getting the right amount of voltage everywhere. I am at a loss now-am very desperate for help. Are 30 lb. injectors too much for this setup? Is 190lph too little? Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
