Classic/Antique Car Repair: 1962 impala goodwrench motor, carbarator, edelbrock intake
QuestionI bought a goodwrench motor. But it runs very rough and stalled with new r43ts spark plugs. I installed some r45ts plugs runs way better, no more stalling but still runs just a little bet rough and sometimes wants to die. Would installing r46ts help. The heads are 72cc and the compresion has a 8.0:1 compression ratio. I don't know if that will help. has a edelbrock intake and stock q-jet carb.
Answer I would not switch to many plugs , what is your gap-try to close it -if it is I.E. 35 make it 32 or 33 -example - also what is the timing ? that might have to go up just a lil more than stock, and did you adj the carbarator ? and if you have solid lifters- I hope you have them right but if hyd. lifters the reg. adj. is ok. try that stuff ok
