I have a 73 340 with a performance rebuild and auto.
No matter what I do the car is burning rich - I can smell it.
I have had a couple of distributors and it gets a little better but not there.
The distributor is set at 16 to 18 degrees initial and stops at 34 degrees at 3200 rpm and it runs good. Not using a vacuum it will not take the advance either ported or constant.
Maybe its not a distributor problem, the carb is a 650 AVS2, I tryed leaning it out and it got a little better but with no power. So I put it back.
I crossed over the ballast resister for a higher volts at the coil per FBBO kit.
What am I missing here. The builder wanted 14 degrees at 700, 27 dergrees at 3000 and 29 all in at 4000 rpm - so he wanted a slow curve - is that why I am too rich too much curve ?
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks Ralph
