![]() OHMYGOD OHMYGOD OHMYGOD!!! I DID IT!
I converted a FI car to carb and it's running!!!!!!! Ok, here was the problem: Last night I went to go top off the radiator and when I poured the coolant in, I heard this dribbling sound coming for across the engine bay. Coolant was POURING out the back of the motor. I had somehow managed to (I have no idea how I accomplished this) break off a huge chunk of the gasket when I was mounting the intake. There was a phenomenal vacuum leak in the motor. I replaced, crank and VROOOOOOOM! She started right up. Ok, she's idling at what sounds like 2000 rpms (tach isnt hooked up, could find the wire) and blowing white smoke out the back. Time to start tuning. Thanks for your patience and help everyone! |
