I have a follow up on my manifold sealing problem.
I finally got the manifold to seal by making extra thick gaskets from exhaust manifold gasket material.
Problem is the car still won't run.
I had issues with the quady that I replaced the Holley with, so I sent it away and had it reconditioned. Got it back and it was no better. I took the car back to the carby guy and he found all sorts of vacuum leaks and faulty pipes and he reset the timing, 1 big vacuum leak was stopping it from idling but now it still won't rev as soon as you try to take off quick it has a massive flat spot and the motor just dies until you back off again. if you ease it away it will slowly accelerate but at a pace that is not drivable. The carby guy didn't like the manifold saying that it would never be very efficient but I don't think that can account for the problems I'm having.
Any ideas I'm desperate. (I've had to take the jeep out driving)
Sounds like the accelerator pump is not working as it should. can you see it squirt 2 jets of fuel into the caby when you move the accelarator linkages?
Sorry I don't have one anymore. When I had a v8 in my rangie, I use a quadrajet from a holden v8 and had no trouble with it. Only thing I changed on the carbie was to fit an electric choke.
I had this problem with a 2 barrel holley on a P76 motor. I read the holley book (came with the car), and its a classic symptom of fuel level too low in the carbie. Easy to fix on a holley - don't know about on a quadreject. The lower the fuel level is, the worse it does it.
